You might want to mention covering the drain with a towel or rag so if you drop a screw, you don't lose it.
You just saved me a minimum of $109 bucks GE service call. Getting the rear panel back in place was a real headache. Spent more time dealing with that then the entire job. Much thanks.
It also a good idea to replace the defrost sensor when you do this. There is a reason why amazon sells them together. Also it is a pain in the a$$ to out that back panel on. That took longer than replacing the heater.
Saved me 500$ greatly appreciated
this was more helpful than i can tell you. The service tech also said I should change out the thermostat, since this same part was switched out 3 years ago. Thoughts? Videos?
Very Informative , Thank You.
What is one of the coils from your evaporator is blocking one of the screws holding the defrost heater to the mounting bracket?
that is a great video it help me out alot .
Ronnie Hidlebird Sr Glad the video helped you get the heaters changed!
Helpful thanks.
Great video and it helped me replace the part easily. QUESTION: I managed to drop the screw down into the hole that collects the water. Will this effect normal operation?
Glad we could help! We would recommend trying to get that screw out.
yes
get a magnet
Is it normal for a lil frost on the vent of the fridge ?
Great Video! ... Do I need to defrost the coils before I replace the Defrost Heater and Bracket Assembly? I would think so... What is the best way to do it?
William Ross It is best to defrost them while you have it open. You can use a hair
dryer or if you are careful of the electrical connections and have some
towels you can use warm water.
If the screw falls into the bottom hole what method is suggested for getting back out?
On my GE, the screw on the left is totally blocked by a coil on the evaporator. Does that mean there's no way to remove the defrost heater?
Thank you . !
I have a GE refrigerator model GSS25SGSA SS. I am a single mom on a tight budget, i have been dealing with this issue for months and couldn't afford to pay a repair man to come out. I went ahead ordered the defrost heater and replaced it myself with your help. I could not have done this without you. I was able to test if the freezer was working by making ice cubes and it worked, I do not have the tester gadget, therefore was not able to check and see if i need replacing other parts. Although the problem has been solved, do you think it is necessary to replace the defrost sensor and thermostat just to be on the safe side. Again thank you very much for your help cheers from Denver, CO
Generally, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! 😂 Which is to say, if your problem is fixed, I wouldn't worry about replacing additional parts.

Thanks
How can you tell it’s bad, mine is glowing orange but freezer is still cold
What type of tool did you use to remove the screws at the back edge of the panels 1:23
A 1/4 inch nutdriver. See at about 0:30. Or a small ratchet and socket set. Sometimes the screws will be slotted for a regular screwdriver.
nut driver quarter inch
My GE refrigerator is freezing and stops air flow to the fresh food side of fridge so I then have to blow dry the coils then it works perfectly until it freezes again probably in a week or so what could be causing this I have a GE Model GSS25QGMC refrigerator! Thanks
We'd be happy to help you out with that! We offer free technical advice and diagnosis. You can give us a call at 1-877-477-7278 or you can chat us at our website: www.appliancepartspros.com/.
try moving your product so you get proper air flow
The plastic surrounding on my wires melted…should I just add electrical tape when I install the new heater?
no strip the wires and add aconnector
One of the connectors in the wire that connects in the defrost heater burn out. The plastic actually burned on the defrost heater. How do you replace the connector on the wire. Do I need a whole wire assembly or can I cut the wire and splice it on another connector that would fit in the defrost heater.
I had the same problem with a burnout connection. Through I had to source a new defroster through eBay, as GE no longer stocks it to dealers, the new one comes with a jumper wire, you can splice the old jumper to the new heater.Make sure you replace the defrost timer if it's mechanical.
just cut it with a wire stripper and add connector
I know your question was 2 years ago but this same thing just happened in our freezer. The blue wire burned out at the end. Can you let me know what you did to fix yours? Buy the wires separately? Reattach new wires? Thanks and let me know.
Hi, my Freezer and Fridge are at 11 degrees and 46 respectively (too warm), what could be the cause of this issue, could it be the part on this video? Many thanks.
try cleaning the condenser by removing back cover
Do those red and blue wires sold separately?
They is
Hi.
What's the name of the pink wire? Or what's the name of part?
All the parts on the model we worked on in this video can be viewed here: www.appliancepartspros.com/parts-for-ge-gsl25jftcbs.html
My samsung heater seems to NOT have the connectors to pull out. Mine seems to be manually wired to the heater. Any suggestions?

Both connectors are burnt. What type of connectors are they? I did a search and was not able to find a match
If you can provide your model number we can check to see if you can get those connectors on their own, but you may have to replace the wires completely.
Just replaced all parts but coils are still iced over. Any ideas?
Defrost temp sensor
I replaced my heater and worked fine until it messed up again. When I went to replace it, I noticed one end of the heater where the wire connects it was melted and the wire was burnt. Any ideas why?
The defrost thermostat could have failed allowing the heater to get too hot. Check to see if the thermostat has continuity at 50°F.
i need a replacement heater however my cabinet is 240v and all replacement heaters apppear to all come from the states so assumingly there 110v any ideas where i would get a 240v replacement heater ?
If it is a overseas model you will probably have to look locally. The models we have access to are sold here and all use 110V.
contact the dealership
THIS VIDEO IS TOTALLY INCORRECT BECAUSE THE WR51X10055 HAS TWO RECEPTACLES ON EACH END THUS REQUIRE A JUMPER WIRE AT ONE END!!!
