Review: Less expensive than and OEM unit and works just as well. - I purchased this to have on hand as a spare from when I had to replace the defrost heater in our 24-year old GE side-by-side refrigerator a couple of years ago. It looks identical to the one I purchased a couple of years ago and I expect it will work just as well. A defrost heater is a critical part of the defrost function of a frost-free refrigerator. If this part fails, frost will begin to accumulate on the evaporator coil and begin to act as an insulator, preventing the freezer from getting much below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (if at all). If your refrigerator is running longer, and not cooling the way it used to, it's possible the defrost heater has failed. If this is the case, this defrost heater will do the job, and just as well as an OEM unit.
Review: You can do this! - Worked well.This is what In have to tell purchasers .If the temp in the fridge heats up it is probably because the heater /defroster went bad . I removed all the food from the freezer , took out the shelves and removed the back panel. The coil evaporator was encased in an inch of ice. I used two hair dryers to thaw it. I then removed the heater/ defroster . Two screws and two clips . The clips have probably rusted on so needle nose plyers come into play .You will noticed that the old heater/ defroster is black which indicates a short . Just replace it with the new one . Two clips, two screws. That's it. replace the back panel , put back the shelves and frozen food . I watched the repair man do this 6 years ago. Labor was $100 and he charged me $75 for the heather defroster. I paid $13.50 for it in desertcart.
