It warms the evaporator during each defrost cycle so built-up frost melts and drains away. There is no model list on file for this part, so check that the number on your old heater, or in your fridge's parts list, reads 140010582272 before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFreezer icing up? Signs of a failed defrost heater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrost free fridges collect a little ice on the evaporator coil as they run. Every so often the control switches on the defrost heater, which melts that ice so the water can drain out. If the heater goes open circuit, frost keeps building until it chokes the airflow. Typical signs are a thick sheet of ice behind the freezer panel, a freezer that stays cold while the fridge section warms up, water pooling under the crisper bins, or a fan that sounds like it is scraping on ice. A continuity test on the heater confirms whether it has failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 140010582272\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadiant defrost heater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 240V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor R600 refrigerant fridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescription reference TF80W\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 type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR600\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDescription reference\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTF80W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging the defrost heater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the fridge off at the wall and unplug it before you start. Move the food into an esky, then remove the freezer rear panel to reach the evaporator. Photograph how the heater is clipped and wired, and take care not to puncture the evaporator tubing. Let any leftover ice melt on its own rather than chipping at it. Refit the panel and give the fridge several hours to pull down to temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know the defrost heater is the faulty part?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIce packed over the evaporator is the classic sign, but a faulty defrost sensor or control can cause the same thing.
