It also goes by 1449675 and 1448992. On file are the Westinghouse WSE6070SA and WSE6070WA, the WSE6100SA and WSE7000SE, and Electrolux ESE6077SA, ESE6107SA and ESE6108WA, plus ERE6100SV and ERE6100SX models. If the freezer coil keeps icing over and the fridge side is creeping warmer, this is one of the first parts to test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns the defrost heater in your fridge has failed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the freezer's back panel sits the evaporator, the cold coil that chills the air. Moisture freezes onto it constantly, so the fridge periodically switches this heater on to melt the frost away and send the water to the drain. A dead heater means the frost never clears. Within days the coil blocks with ice, air stops reaching the fresh food section and temperatures climb there first. Telltale signs are a solid white wall of ice behind the vents, water or ice in the bottom of the freezer, and a fan rattling against frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 50291939002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso known as 1449675 and 1448992\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefrost heater for frost-free fridge freezers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits Westinghouse WSE plus Electrolux ESE and ERE models on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTesting and fitting the heater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the fridge and move freezer food into coolers. Take out the shelves and the panel covering the evaporator, then let built-up ice melt with the door open or a fan blowing in. Test the old heater with a multimeter, since an open circuit confirms the fault. Note how it is clipped and wired, fit the new one in the same position and refit the cover before plugging the fridge back in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCould something else cause the same icing problem?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. A faulty defrost thermostat, a failed control board or a blocked drain can all leave the evaporator iced up. Testing the heater for continuity is a quick way to confirm it is the culprit before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44547390963790,"sku":"50291939002","price":92.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/50291939002-genuine-westinghouse-fridge-defrost-heater.jpg?v=1792025686","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/50291939002-genuine-westinghouse-fridge-defrost-heater","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
