Product details

Ice building up behind the rear panel while the fridge slowly warms is a classic defrost fault. Genuine part 85814452307 is a 450W double pass defrost heater, also listed as 1445230 and 1441001, for Westinghouse and Electrolux fridges. Models on file include the Westinghouse WRM4300WB and WRM3700WB, the RP432V and RP372V, and the Electrolux ERM4300WA and ERM3700WA.

Fridge warming up with ice behind the panel? Defrost heater signs

In a frost-free fridge, a fan blows air over a cold evaporator coil tucked behind an inner panel. Frost forms on the coil as it works, so the control regularly stops cooling and switches on this heater to clear it. A heater that has burnt out leaves the frost to grow until air can no longer pass through the coil. The result is a cabinet that gets steadily warmer, a fan that sounds muffled or scrapes on ice, and frost visible around the vents.

Changing the defrost element

Turn the fridge off at the wall and empty the shelves. Take out the inner rear panel to uncover the coil, using a hair dryer on low or a bowl of warm water to clear any ice rather than a sharp tool. Take photos of how the heater is clipped on and where its plug sits, fit the new one in the same position and keep the wiring clear of the fan blade.

Questions about this part

Is this the same heater as the 500W double pass?

No. This one is rated 450W and is listed for the WRM, RP and ERM models on this page. Other Westinghouse fridges use different defrost heaters, so match your model number to the list before ordering.
