freezer wouldn't defrost.
Removed 2 screws at the base of the fan cover. Slide the cover upward and remove. Remove the ice maker (if applicable ). Remove 2 screws from the back panel and remove the panel. The defrost heater is located directly underneath the evap.coil. Bend inward the two tabs which hold the heater in place and remove the old heater. The defrost thermostat simply clips on to the evaporator tubing. A butt splice can be made to the existing wiring. BE SURE THAT YOU UNPLUG THE REFRIGERATOR BEFORE PERFORMING THE REPAIR.
