Product details
Ice packing the back of the freezer in a Fisher & Paykel E388 or E308 fridge often comes down to a failed defrost element. Part 4055916417 is a genuine defrost element kit carrying an Electrolux part number, and it is the same part as Fisher & Paykel number 821730P. It's listed for the E388L, E388R, E388LW1, E388LMFD, E388LXFD, E388RMFD, E308L and E308R.
Signs the fridge defrost element has failed
Frost free fridges cool by blowing air across an evaporator coil hidden behind the freezer's back panel. Moisture freezes onto that coil, and at regular intervals the defrost element heats up to melt it away. When the element goes open circuit, the ice keeps building until it chokes the airflow. The freezer may still feel cold, but the fridge section warms up, food spoils sooner and you may see a thick white frost through the vents. A continuity test across the element terminals confirms the fault.

- Supplied as a kit
- Listed for Fisher & Paykel E388 and E308 fridges
Fitting the defrost kit
Unplug the fridge and move the frozen food into an esky or a second freezer. Remove the freezer's rear panel and let any ice melt completely, without using sharp tools on the coil. Note how the old element is clipped and how its wires are routed, then fit the new kit the same way. Refit the panel and give the fridge a day to recover.
Questions about this part
Is this the same as Fisher & Paykel part 821730P?
Yes. 4055916417 is cross referenced to Fisher & Paykel 821730P, so it replaces that number. Check your model on the rating label inside the fridge and compare it with the E388 and E308 models listed here.
