• Restores reliable heater function when the original harness is frayed, burned, or broken
• Helps address symptoms like excessive frost build-up or interrupted defrost cycles
• Matches OEM wiring layout to fit in the evaporator/defrost system

What's included: One heater harness assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspection or replacement to avoid shock.
• Verify the compressor/refrigerant system is intact; do not open sealed refrigerant components.
• Inspect related components (defrost heater, thermostat, timer/control) for damage; replace if needed.
