Fresh Food Defrost Heater
The defrost heater is a single-tube, glass-enclosed
radiant heater. It is held in place by 2 tabs on the
evaporator (1 on each side) and by a ceramic and
wire support.
The defrost heater has an approximate resistance
value of 31
Ω
.
To remove the defrost heater:
1. Remove the fresh food evaporator cover. (See
Fresh Food Evaporator Cover
.)
Note
• During defrost, the drain probe assists in
preventing the drain from icing closed. During
assembly, the probe must be installed on the
evaporator and inserted in the drain to prevent
drain freeze-up.
• A ceramic and wire support prevents the heater
from sagging and touching the metal drain
trough if the glass is broken.
2. Remove the ceramic and wire support, and the
drain probe from the evaporator.
3. Bend the aluminum tabs back (located at each
end of the defrost heater) and lower the heater
out of the evaporator.
