About This Part
The defrost heater melts frost off the evaporator during each defrost cycle. When it fails, ice builds up, airflow drops and the fresh-food section warms while the freezer stays cold. A new heater restores automatic defrosting and even cooling.
Many owners fit this themselves; if you’d rather not, any local repairer can fit the part you supply.
