Additional information

This refrigerator defrost heater, part number 5715720200, installs near the evaporator and heats during the defrost cycle to melt frost buildup on the evaporator coils. Removing frost allows proper airflow and helps the refrigerator maintain consistent temperatures.

If frost accumulates heavily on the evaporator or the refrigerator stops cooling properly, the defrost heater may be faulty. You may also notice reduced airflow from vents or ice buildup behind the rear panel.

Disconnect power to the refrigerator before starting the repair. Remove the evaporator cover to access the heater, disconnect the wiring connectors, and install the replacement heater in the same position. Make sure all connections are secure before restoring power.
