Additional information

This refrigerator defrost heater, part number 5749340200, warms the evaporator during the automatic defrost cycle to melt frost that forms on the evaporator coils. The heater helps keep the evaporator clear of ice so cold air can circulate properly through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

If the defrost heater stops working, frost or ice may build up on the evaporator and restrict airflow. You might notice the refrigerator or freezer not cooling evenly, heavy frost forming on interior panels, or the appliance running longer than usual.

Unplug the refrigerator before installing this part. Access the evaporator compartment by removing the interior panel, disconnect the heater wiring, and remove the mounting hardware that holds the heater in place. Install the replacement heater in the same position, reconnect the wiring, and reinstall the interior panel before restoring power.
