2. Defrost Heating Elements
The purpose of the evaporator heating element is to melt any ice on the evaporating
coil. The presence of ice is due to the condensation of moist air in the two
compartments, when it comes into contact with the low temperatures on the
evaporator. This ice compromises the heat exchange between the evaporator and the
air, reducing the refrigeration properties in the two compartments of the appliance.
The drip tray heating element melts any bits of ice coming off the evaporator and
falling onto the drip tray, and also prevents blockage of the pipe that takes the water
from the drip tray to the drain pipe.
