How to replace defrost heated - Refrigerators

Well you need to set your defrost cycle on every 30min,that doesn't mean it comes on every 30 min,it just checks it,there's little black or white switches on the board and on the door it show you how to change them for your time,

I believe that's means a/c mode is on and the flame is for heat. If the heat pump is not defrosting normally in heat mode u may have a problem with the defrost sensor ( located on the outside unit condenser coil) or a defrost board. Replace both

Check the defrost timer. Turn the small slotted knob on the side with a screw driver until the unit turns off. this will force it into a defrost check the defrost heater strip if it is getting hot then replace the defrost timer if not then check with a volt meter to make sure your getting power to heat strip. If you are getting power to heat strip but it is not heating up then replace the heat strip. also before you force it into a defrost check the defrost termination switch with a meter make sure you have power going to it and through it. It will be mounted on the evaporator coil a round therm o disk with 2 wires on it should be a red and pink one. If you have power going to it and not through it then replace it. This cuts power to defrost time if it gets to hot at coil during defrost.

defrost not working check defrost t-stat, timer, or heating element.
find timer and rotate till compressor turns off; defrost should start and melt ice, if no melting then check defrost t-stat ( round disc located nead heating coil) if you remove it and jump around it will begin to heat normally. If so then do not leave it jumped!!!!!!!! Replace it and you're done!!!!!!

Repair the defrost system, defrost timer,defrost thermostat and defrost heater.

, you might have a defrost problem. Frost free models have a heating element that is controlled by a timer to automatically defrost ice, defrost timer turns on defrost heating element every 12 hours to melt ice in freezer and allow good air flow.
You can test defrost element with an ohm meter(located inside freezer coils-will have two wires going to a plug connection), if OK replace defrost timer (located in various places depending on make and model
