Repair Skill Level:

2 Screwdrivers

Failure Symptoms: Ice and/or frost buildup is on the rear panel or floor inside the freezer (depending on the style and placement of the evaporator coil).

    Found these heaters on line $40 cheaper than my local parts house price. They did not have them in stock anyway. Thrifty had them sent them the same day arrive on time. Will be checking back here when something is needed around my house, and friends houses.
