Numbers linked to it are 140010582033, A01058203 and A01058225. It suits 35 models on file, including the Westinghouse WBE5300 range, the WHE5200, WHE5204, WHE5260 and WHE5264, and the Electrolux EHE5267.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFridge iced up at the back and not cooling?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrost free fridges cool by blowing air over an evaporator coil, and moisture from the air freezes onto those fins. Several times a day the control switches on the defrost heater to melt that frost so the water can run away to the drain. When the heater fails, frost keeps building until the coil is a solid block of ice. Airflow is choked off, the fresh food section warms up, the freezer drifts upward in temperature, and you may see ice on the rear panel or hear the fan scraping. Defrosting by hand brings it back for a few days, then the problem returns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 140010582256\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinked numbers 140010582033, A01058203 and A01058225\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadiant defrost heater, 240V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eR600 version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35 Westinghouse and Electrolux models on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRefrigerant system\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR600\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the defrost heater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the fridge and remove the food. Take out the rear freezer panel to expose the evaporator, and let any ice melt completely before you start. Never chip at the ice, as a pierced coil means a sealed system repair. Unclip the old heater, connect the new one exactly as the old one was wired, refit the panel and allow several hours for the temperatures to settle. If the new heater does not fix it, the defrost sensor or control may be at fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does R600 mean on this heater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eR600 refers to the refrigerant family the fridge runs on.
