Using this Westinghouse defrost element is straightforward. First, make sure your refrigerator is unplugged for safety. Then, locate the old defrost element in your fridge. It's usually at the back of the freezer compartment. Remove the old element carefully, taking note of how it's connected. Next, connect the new element using the 3 - pin plug just like the old one. Finally, plug your refrigerator back in. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the defrost cycle of your fridge. If you notice the freezer is frosting up more than usual, it might be a sign that the element needs checking. Also, clean the area around the element occasionally to prevent dust and debris buildup. When handling the element, be gentle as the built - in thermal fuses are sensitive. If you're ever unsure about any step, don't hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.
