Using your Samsung aluminium drain heater element is simple. First, make sure your refrigerator is unplugged to avoid any electrical hazards. Locate the old drain heater element in your fridge and carefully remove it. Then, connect the new heater element using the 3 - hole plug with 2 connections. Plug your fridge back in and check if the element is working properly. As for maintenance, keep the area around the heater element clean. Remove any debris or ice that may accumulate. If you notice any issues like the element not heating or strange noises, unplug the fridge immediately and contact a professional. When storing the element, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
