About this product
A defrost heater prevents your fridge’s cooling coils from frosting over. If the defrost heater fails, your fridge can get too hot or too cold, causing food to spoil or get freezer burnt. Luckily, it’s easy and affordable to replace a faulty defrost heater. The ALLTEMP single-tube defrost heater directly replaces part number WR51X10053. It offers long-lasting durability and compatibility with many GE and Hotpoint brand fridges.
