Freezer not freezing

This is a Genuine Replacement Part,The Model Number and Name for The Following Item: Frigidaire (FRIGB) 216254600 Defrost Heater Assembly

The defrost heater turns on several times throughout the day to melt away any frost that may have accumulated on the freezer evaporator coils. If the defrost heater does not turn on, frost will continue to accumulate on the evaporator coils which can prevent the freezer from freezing properly. To determine if the defrost heater is at fault, use a multimeter to test the defrost heater for continuity. If the defrost heater does not have continuity, replace it.

Freezer runs all the time

The defrost heater turns on several times throughout the day to melt away any frost that may have accumulated on the freezer evaporator coils. If the defrost heater assembly has burned out, the evaporator coils will frost over. If the evaporator coils are frosted over, air won’t be able to pass through the coils and cool the freezer. To compensate for the decrease in cooling capacity, the freezer will run continuously in an attempt to keep the freezer cold. If you suspect that the defrost heater isn’t working, first check the evaporator coils. If the coils are plugged with frost, the defrost system is not working properly. Next, use a multimeter to test the defrost heater for continuity. If the defrost heater does not have continuity, replace it.

Freezer coils frozen

The defrost heater turns on several times throughout the day to melt away any frost that may have accumulated on the freezer evaporator coils. If the defrost heater does not turn on, frost will continue to accumulate on the evaporator coils, and the coils will eventually frost over. To determine if the defrost heater is at fault, use a multimeter to test the defrost heater for continuity. If the defrost heater does not have continuity, replace it.

Freezer not Defrosting/Ice Buildup

In a self-defrosting freezer, the defrost heater assembly turns on several times throughout the day to melt away any frost that may have accumulated on the evaporator coils. If the defrost heater assembly is defective, the defrost system will not work, and frost will continue to accumulate on the evaporator coils. To determine if the defrost heater is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the defrost heater does not have continuity, replace it.
