Whirlpool WP2263749 Refrigerator Defrost Heater

The Whirlpool WP2263749 defrost heater is specifically developed for Whirlpool refrigerators. During the defrost cycle, frost buildup on the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment might impair the refrigerator's ability to maintain the right temperature. This defrost heater is a critical component that turns on periodically to melt accumulated frost. The heater element generates heat, which melts the frost and drains it through a specialized channel. This defrosting process guarantees that your refrigerator performs optimally and efficiently. Replacing a faulty defrost heater can solve issues such as a refrigerator running too hot or a freezer that fails to defrost entirely. With a working defrost heater, your Whirlpool refrigerator can maintain constant temperatures, avoid ice formation, and extend the longevity of the appliance.
