Refrigerator Defrost Heater and Thermostat Kit.
If your refrigerator is not defrosting properly, it may be necessary to replace this component. This Samsung part is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) item designed to facilitate the defrosting process in the freezer compartment. It is situated behind the rear panel of the freezer, where it makes direct contact with the evaporator coils. The defrost heater's role is to melt ice and frost that have formed on the coils as a result of the cooling cycle. Additionally, the defrost thermostat included in this kit functions as a temperature sensor. It detects when the coils reach a certain temperature, which triggers the beginning or end of the defrost cycle.

This part is also compatible with certain Kenmore/Sears models.
