Defrost Heater Assembly for Refrigerator Fresh Food Section
The Defrost Heater Assembly serves as a genuine OEM replacement part, suitable for a range of GE refrigerator models, including brands like Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. Its primary role is to prevent freezing of the evaporator coils, crucial for effective cooling function. During the automatic defrost cycle, the heater activates to clear frost accumulation on the evaporator fins.
This assembly features two wires connecting to the defrost timer and a grounding wire for attachment to the refrigerator's frame, with a specified resistance of 31 Ohms. Should the heater deactivate sooner than expected, it might indicate an issue with other components, such as the bi-metal sensor. For safety, it's advised to disconnect the refrigerator's power supply before installation to prevent electrical risks.
Engineered to meet the original manufacturer's standards, this Defrost Heater ensures proper fit and functionality with compatible GE models.
