Product details
85814452315 is a genuine Electrolux defrost heater element for frost free fridges in the Electrolux group, which takes in the Westinghouse and Kelvinator names. On older parts and paperwork you may see it under the seven digit number 1445231. We don't have a model list for this heater, and Electrolux made several similar defrost heaters, so compare the number on your old heater, along with its shape and connectors, before you order.
Fridge warm but freezer frosted up? The defrost heater may be gone
A frost free fridge cools air by blowing it across a cold evaporator coil, and moisture from that air freezes onto the fins. On a timed or sensed cycle the cooling stops and the defrost heater warms the coil so the frost melts and drains away. When the heater element goes open circuit, the frost keeps building until it blocks the airflow. The usual signs are a thick layer of ice on the panel at the back of the freezer, a fresh food section that slowly warms up, and a fan that sounds muffled or scrapes on ice.

Testing and replacing the heater
Turn the fridge off at the wall and unplug it, then move food somewhere cold. Let the ice on the evaporator melt on its own rather than chipping at it, as a pierced coil means a costly refrigerant repair. A multimeter across the heater terminals will show whether the old element is open circuit. Photograph the clips and wiring, fit the new heater in the same position, and replace the panels before powering up.
Questions about this part
How do I know the defrost heater is the faulty part?
Ice packed over the evaporator is the main clue, but a failed defrost thermostat, timer or control board can cause the same symptom. Check the heater for continuity with the fridge unplugged. An open circuit reading means the heater has failed.
