You might want to mention covering the drain with a towel or rag so if you drop a screw, you don't lose it.

You just saved me a minimum of $109 bucks GE service call. Getting the rear panel back in place was a real headache. Spent more time dealing with that then the entire job. Much thanks.

@jonlawson4672 Год назад

Saved me 500$ greatly appreciated

@asharma5958 Год назад

It also a good idea to replace the defrost sensor when you do this. There is a reason why amazon sells them together. Also it is a pain in the a$$ to out that back panel on. That took longer than replacing the heater.

@dennismason1187 4 года назад

this was more helpful than i can tell you. The service tech also said I should change out the thermostat, since this same part was switched out 3 years ago. Thoughts? Videos?

@MexBytes 3 года назад

Very Informative , Thank You.

@johnsaxon7940 2 года назад

What is one of the coils from your evaporator is blocking one of the screws holding the defrost heater to the mounting bracket?

@immortalmonsterhybrid975 Год назад

If the screw falls into the bottom hole what method is suggested for getting back out?

@Eric-vn9sm 2 года назад

Is it normal for a lil frost on the vent of the fridge ?

@elreggaetoneroamericano4937 2 года назад

On my GE, the screw on the left is totally blocked by a coil on the evaporator. Does that mean there's no way to remove the defrost heater?

I have a GE refrigerator model GSS25SGSA SS. I am a single mom on a tight budget, i have been dealing with this issue for months and couldn't afford to pay a repair man to come out. I went ahead ordered the defrost heater and replaced it myself with your help. I could not have done this without you. I was able to test if the freezer was working by making ice cubes and it worked, I do not have the tester gadget, therefore was not able to check and see if i need replacing other parts. Although the problem has been solved, do you think it is necessary to replace the defrost sensor and thermostat just to be on the safe side. Again thank you very much for your help cheers from Denver, CO

Generally, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! 😂 Which is to say, if your problem is fixed, I wouldn't worry about replacing additional parts.

How can you tell it’s bad, mine is glowing orange but freezer is still cold

@BlaiseGoldmanTheRawTruth 6 лет назад

Great video and it helped me replace the part easily. QUESTION: I managed to drop the screw down into the hole that collects the water. Will this effect normal operation?

@appliancepartspros 6 лет назад

Glad we could help! We would recommend trying to get that screw out.

@billmurphy1335 Год назад

@billmurphy1335 Год назад

Ronnie Hidlebird Sr Glad the video helped you get the heaters changed!

@wross2 9 лет назад

Great Video! ... Do I need to defrost the coils before I replace the Defrost Heater and Bracket Assembly? I would think so... What is the best way to do it?

@appliancepartspros 9 лет назад

William Ross It is best to defrost them while you have it open. You can use a hair dryer or if you are careful of the electrical connections and have some towels you can use warm water.

@Scarfacerican 2 года назад

The plastic surrounding on my wires melted…should I just add electrical tape when I install the new heater?

@billmurphy1335 Год назад

no strip the wires and add aconnector

@hanhsta123 Год назад

Both connectors are burnt. What type of connectors are they? I did a search and was not able to find a match

@appliancepartspros Год назад

If you can provide your model number we can check to see if you can get those connectors on their own, but you may have to replace the wires completely.

@rik9833 3 года назад

What type of tool did you use to remove the screws at the back edge of the panels 1:23

@toma5153 2 года назад

A 1/4 inch nutdriver. See at about 0:30. Or a small ratchet and socket set. Sometimes the screws will be slotted for a regular screwdriver.

@billmurphy1335 Год назад

nut driver quarter inch

@patrickkasmir3914 11 месяцев назад

I replaced my heater and worked fine until it messed up again. When I went to replace it, I noticed one end of the heater where the wire connects it was melted and the wire was burnt. Any ideas why?

@appliancepartspros 11 месяцев назад

The defrost thermostat could have failed allowing the heater to get too hot. Check to see if the thermostat has continuity at 50°F.

@synen 3 года назад

Hi, my Freezer and Fridge are at 11 degrees and 46 respectively (too warm), what could be the cause of this issue, could it be the part on this video? Many thanks.

@billmurphy1335 Год назад

try cleaning the condenser by removing back cover

@tonymanero6914 3 года назад

One of the connectors in the wire that connects in the defrost heater burn out. The plastic actually burned on the defrost heater. How do you replace the connector on the wire. Do I need a whole wire assembly or can I cut the wire and splice it on another connector that would fit in the defrost heater.

@egold1006 2 года назад

I had the same problem with a burnout connection. Through I had to source a new defroster through eBay, as GE no longer stocks it to dealers, the new one comes with a jumper wire, you can splice the old jumper to the new heater.Make sure you replace the defrost timer if it's mechanical.

@billmurphy1335 Год назад

just cut it with a wire stripper and add connector

@sherriec3721 Год назад

I know your question was 2 years ago but this same thing just happened in our freezer. The blue wire burned out at the end. Can you let me know what you did to fix yours? Buy the wires separately? Reattach new wires? Thanks and let me know.

@Rashed_E 4 года назад

Thanks

@SW-wb8ct 3 года назад

Do those red and blue wires sold separately?

i need a replacement heater however my cabinet is 240v and all replacement heaters apppear to all come from the states so assumingly there 110v any ideas where i would get a 240v replacement heater ?

@appliancepartspros 7 лет назад

If it is a overseas model you will probably have to look locally. The models we have access to are sold here and all use 110V.
