Step 5: The old defrost heater should be extracted from the wall.

Step 6: The new WP12729128 Whirlpool Defrost Heater should be placed into the wall and the two nuts should be reattached onto the unit.

Step 7: The insulation should be reassembled in its initial configuration around the heater.

Step 8: The refrigerator should be reconnected to the outlet and the water should be switched on.
