WR51X10038 Refrigerator Defrost Heater
The WR51X10038 Refrigerator Defrost Heater heats the refrigerator’s cooling element to prevent it from freezing. It works with the defrost timer to heat the element at regular intervals. A worn or broken defrost element may cause the refrigerator’s cooling element to freeze. You might need to replace the defrost heater in your refrigerator if:
- Your refrigerator or freezer are too warm
- Your freezer will not defrost
- Frost has built up on the freezer coils

Big value for the money comsidering OEM counterpart is $65+. Have yet to found out if the product is durable but it works and so far so good! Installing it is very straightforward and easy as well. Takes no more than a solid 20 minutes.

My freezer froze up a while ago, at the time I needed one quickly so I bought another used one, well that one started to go, so I decided to refurbish the one I set aside. I took apart the freezer section and then watched a couple of videos on what usually causes the issues, It could have been the thermostat or the heater tube, I bought both parts and replaced the thermostat, I also removed the heater tube, cleaned it, and then inspected it for breakage, I reinstalled it and installed the thermostat. I did a test run for a few days and no issues popped up the temps stayed correct without any spikes. I brought the refurbished unit in and then transferred all my food. It has been well over 1 week and it is working great, with no freeze-up issues. I returned the heater tube but kept the page just in case I have issues up the road. Now I will refurbish the other fridge, paint it then keep it for a while. Eventually, I will sell it. The fridge I am using now is easy to work on and is a newer model than the one I took out. Great seller to deal with fast shipping and safe packaging
