Refrigerator Defrost Heater Assembly

This Refrigerator Defrost Heater Assembly is an authentic OEM component designed for use with Frigidaire refrigerators. It is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, and Sears-Kenmore models. Its primary function is to mitigate frost buildup on evaporator coils by providing heat during the defrost cycle.

Issues with the defrost heater assembly often arise from electrical faults, wear and tear, or structural damage. These problems can result in excessive frost on evaporator coils, diminished cooling capacity, or a complete breakdown of the defrost system.

Signs of a malfunctioning defrost heater assembly include:

- Noticeable frost or ice on evaporator coils
- Lowered cooling performance in refrigerator or freezer sections
- Water pooling beneath the refrigerator
- Refrigerator running continuously

To resolve these concerns, it is advisable to replace the malfunctioning defrost heater assembly with this genuine Frigidaire OEM part. This part is also compatible with appliances from brands such as Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
