Description

This defrost heater mounts on the freezer evaporator and melts frost during the automatic defrost cycle, keeping air moving and temperatures stable. Replacing a failed heater helps restore cooling performance and prevents recurring ice buildup on the evaporator cover.

• Heats the evaporator coils at set intervals to clear frost and ice
• Helps maintain airflow to both compartments for consistent temperatures
• Prevents ice from blocking the evaporator fan and air passages
• Common failure symptoms: heavy frost on the back freezer wall, reduced cooling, longer run times, or fan noise from ice contact

What's included: 1 defrost heater assembly Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove freezer shelves/ice bin and the rear panel to access the evaporator
• Note wire routing and clip positions; handle the element carefully and reinstall in original clips away from plastic parts
• Reassemble and restore power; allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize
