Product Description

The Whirlpool W11546610 Refrigerator Defrost Heater is designed to heat the coils to melt the frost that may have formed on the coils, which is then allowed to drain off to enhance cooling. This process also ensures that the temperature is well regulated and that there is no freezer burn. This means that the defrost heater increases energy efficiency and reduces the chances of the appliance’s early damage due to blockages in the airflow. It also eliminates the need for manual defrosting, making it convenient and efficient to use in maintaining the refrigerator.
