This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. This defrost heater assembly is designed for use with refrigerators.

The heaters are each approximately 9 inches long, each can carry 500 watts, and 115 volts. To successfully install this replacement part you will need a nutdriver, pliers, and screw drivers. Before beginning this repair make sure you have unplugged your refrigerator.

Freezer coils were frozen
I turned off the refrigerator then emptied out the freezer and removed the shelves. removed the screws from the panel inside the freezer and rolled it up out of the way. Then started to defrost the coils. When defrosted, I removed the hex head screws that hold the heaters and removed them and then unplugged the heater wires up where th ey were connected to the circuit board. Removed the coils from their brackets and installed the new ones and installed in reverse order.
