This defrost heater kit is designed to restore proper defrost function in refrigerators experiencing frost buildup on the cooling coils. Crafted for precise performance, it helps maintain optimal airflow and temperature regulation by melting accumulated ice during the defrost cycle. The kit includes all necessary components for installation and is engineered to fit select refrigerator models. Featuring durable construction and reliable heating elements, it connects directly to the appliance’s existing wiring and mounting points. Before installation, ensure the refrigerator is powered off and consult the user manual for model-specific instructions. This part is intended to replace the original defrost heater and restore efficient cooling performance.

Issue was actually with the thermostat
I ended up replacing the timer switch, thermostat and defrost heater due to my troubleshooting skills. Still saved a bunch of money doing it myself. Easy fix.

WHAT IS THE RESISTANCE OF A COLD DEFROST HEATER?
For model number FRT18G4AW4
Hello Bob, Thank you for the question. The Defrost Heater should read around 30 to 40 ohms, give or take 10%. We hope this helps!

Freezer is not defrosting. I replaced the defrost timer, it worked for 6 months and then stopped defrosting again. I replaced the defrost thermostat, and that did not fix it. I replaced the defrost heater because it was not heating up, and that did not fix it. Could it be the cold control thermostat? If not what would you recommend?
For model number FRT18KB2CW4
Hello Judy, thank you for contacting us. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the defrost timer, part number PS423801, to solve the problem. We hope that helps!
