The heater warms the evaporator coil at intervals to melt the frost that builds up on it, and the sensor tells the control when the coil is clear. Match this number to your old heater or your fridge's parts list, as no models are on file.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLG fridge warm but freezer frosted up? Check the defrost heater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a frost-free fridge, cold air is made at the evaporator and blown into the cabinets by a fan. If the defrost heater or its sensor fails, frost keeps building on the coil until air can't get through. The fridge section usually warms up first, then the freezer starts to struggle. You may see thick frost on the back wall of the freezer, hear the fan scraping ice, or find water leaking when the ice melts. A continuity test on the heater and sensor quickly shows whether this assembly is the fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine LG part 5300JR1014R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath type defrost heater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefrost controller\/sensor included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor LG frost-free fridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeater type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncludes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDefrost controller\/sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the defrost heater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the fridge and empty the freezer, then let the evaporator thaw fully before you work on it. Forcing ice off can puncture the coil and cause a refrigerant leak. Photograph how the heater, clips and sensor are positioned. Fit the new assembly in the same spot, clip the sensor where the old one sat, and route the wiring away from the fan blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a separate defrost sensor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This assembly comes with the defrost controller\/sensor, so the heater and sensor are replaced together.
