Common Symptoms

- Frost or ice buildup
- Freezer not freezing or refrigerator not cooling due to evaporator icing
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect power before accessing the heater.
- Inspect the heater assembly for visible damage or breakage.
- With power disconnected, test the heater for electrical continuity using a multimeter; lack of continuity indicates the heater may be defective.
- Confirm that the refrigerator's defrost system is supplying power during a properly initiated defrost cycle; other components can also cause a no-defrost condition.
