Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
evaporator coil iced solid then fan would would scrape making loud noise
First you have to pull power plug and after removing trays and door to freezer,, i removed ice maker and metal coil cover then i melted ice cake by using a space heater blowing in to freezer compartment ,, then i looked at how old part was mounted and installed my new one the same ,,, all this was done laying on my side up in freezer,,, it would have been easier if it was a top freezer rather than a bottom freezer like mine.i did all this hoping the defrost heat element was defective,any way it is back together working good.

My 3 year old refrigerator freezer is icing up and I think I need a new defrost heater. Is it unusual for this to go bad so soon?
For model number WRF560SEHZ00
PartSelect logo
Hi Jane, Thank you for your question. If your refrigerator is icing up, warm moist air may be getting inside the refrigerator. The moisture condenses on the walls of the refrigerator and as it cools becomes frost and eventually builds up as ice. This can occur, if the doors are left open too long or if the doors are not sealing correctly. If the doors are not sealing correctly you will need to replace the door gaskets. You will also need to check the defrost heater and the main electronic control board. We hope this helps with the repair!

My refrigerator about every 3/4 days leaks small amount of water.
For model number WRF560SEYW05
PartSelect logo
Hello Bertha, Thank you for writing. Depending on where the leak is coming from, we suggest checking the Drain Tube. If the drain is backed up the defrost cycle water can pool and back up and cause a leak. We hope this helps!
