It replaces a long list of old part numbers such as FP818971P, 818971P. It's a U-shaped defrost heating element for the freezer compartment of some 635 series Fisher & Paykel frost-free refrigerators and freezers. With a power of 322 watts, 240 volts AC, and 175 ohms, it measures 420mm wide, has 160mm and 200mm bent-up ends, and the wiring terminates in a 2-pin plug. It fits 635 series no-frost fridge/freezer models like E331T, E372B, etc. An adaptor plug might be needed for very early models, or you can cut and join the wires. It's not suitable for models using R600a gas. The original element in some models had much shorter bent-up ends.
