It suits a wide spread of Westinghouse frost free fridges, from the older BJ383V, BJ433V, RJ392V and RJ423V to the WTM3900WB, WTM4200WB, WTE4200SB, WBM4300WB and WBE4300SB. Forty models are on file in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFreezer iced up and fridge getting warm?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a frost free fridge, cold air comes from an evaporator coil hidden behind the freezer back panel. At set intervals the control switches on the defrost heater to melt the frost off that coil, and the water drains away. When the heater burns out, frost keeps building until the coil is a solid block of ice. Air can no longer flow, so the fridge section warms up first, then the freezer struggles. Look for heavy ice behind the rear panel, a fan that sounds muffled or scrapes on ice, and water leaking from the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 4055724282\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso listed as 1441000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble defrost heating element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e350W rating, 440mm long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for 40 Westinghouse fridge models including WTM, WBM, WBE, BJ and RJ ranges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e440mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble element\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a defrost heater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch off at the wall, unplug, and move the frozen food into an esky. Take off the rear panel inside the freezer and let any ice melt fully, using towels to catch the water. Photograph how the heater sits on the coil and how its wires connect before removing it. Check the defrost thermostat and thermal fuse while you are in there, as a fault in either can also stop the defrost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I test the old heater first?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, if you have a multimeter. A heater with an open circuit gives no reading and needs replacing. If the heater reads fine, the defrost thermostat, thermal fuse or control may be at fault, so test those before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44549186191438,"sku":"4055724282","price":103.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/4055724282-genuine-westinghouse-fridge-defrost-heater-double-element-350w-440mm.jpg?v=1792026051","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/4055724282-genuine-westinghouse-fridge-defrost-heater-double-element-350w-440mm","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
