Refrigerator Defrost Heater for Evaporator Coil

The Defrost Heater is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part for Samsung refrigerators. It melts frost and ice from the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle. This function is essential for maintaining the refrigerator's cooling efficiency and preventing frost buildup, which can block airflow and disrupt temperature control in both the fridge and freezer compartments.

Common reasons for replacing the defrost heater include a blown fuse in the heater circuit, damage from wear and tear, or electrical issues that prevent the heater from activating during the defrost cycle.

Signs of a faulty Defrost Heater include:

- Excessive frost in the freezer compartment
- Inadequate cooling in the refrigerator or freezer
- The freezer not cooling properly while the fridge compartment maintains the correct temperature

This OEM Samsung part is also compatible with certain Kenmore models.

This part addresses the following issues:
- The refrigerator does not shut off
- Frost buildup
