Refrigerator Defrost Heater

Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau brands offer a defrost heater for their refrigerators. This OEM part is crucial for preventing ice buildup on the evaporator coils in your freezer compartment. By generating heat, the defrost heater melts any ice that forms on the coils, ensuring they remain clear and functional. This process helps maintain efficient cooling and prevents potential damage to the refrigerator.

A defrost heater may fail due to regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or exposure to moisture and extreme temperatures. Indications of a malfunctioning heater include excessive frost or ice in the freezer, uneven cooling, or water pooling at the bottom.

Typical signs of a faulty defrost heater include:

- Excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer
- Inconsistent cooling performance
- Water pooling at the bottom of the freezer

To restore your refrigerator's performance, replace the defective defrost heater with this genuine OEM part from Bosch. It is also compatible with Thermador and Gaggenau appliances.
