Refrigerator Defrost Heater and Thermostat Kit
Should your refrigerator struggle with defrosting, the replacement of this component may resolve the issue. This part, manufactured by Samsung, serves as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, specifically crafted to enhance defrosting in the freezer section. Positioned behind the freezer's rear panel, it contacts the evaporator coils directly. The defrost heater is responsible for eliminating any ice and frost accumulation on the coils, a byproduct of the cooling process. Accompanying the heater, the defrost thermostat operates as a temperature sensor, activating the start or end of the defrost cycle once the coils achieve a specified temperature.
Additionally, this kit is suitable for select Kenmore/Sears models.
This component effectively addresses common problems such as:
- Frost build-up.
