Defrost Heater and Bracket Assembly If you are experiencing temperature issues with your refrigerator, there may be an issue with the defrost heater. If this part has failed, it can cause your fridge and freezer to get too warm. It can also result in frost and ice building up on the evaporator coils which decreases the airflow and efficiency of your appliance. To check if the heater is faulty, you can use a multimeter to test for continuity. You should receive a reading between 1-50 ohms, otherwise the part is defective and should be replaced.
