Product Description

The Whirlpool WP2315531 is a defrost heater intended for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an essential component of the automatic defrost cycle that keeps the freezer compartment from becoming overly frosty. The defrost heater operates by means of a temperature sensor signal or a timer. After that, heat is produced to melt any ice buildup on the evaporator coils. Through a tiny channel, the melted ice drains away, keeping frost from obstructing airflow and decreasing the refrigerator's performance. A defrost heater that works properly keeps your refrigerator at the ideal temperature and doesn't use too much electricity. Issues such as water seepage within the refrigerator, frost accumulation in the freezer, and reduced chilling efficiency can be resolved by replacing the malfunctioning defrost heater.
