MEE36593201 - LG Refrigerator Heating Element

This LG Refrigerator Heating Element (MEE36593201) is a genuine part specifically designed for LG refrigerators. It operates by converting electricity into targeted heat for a defrost zone when energized, incorporating both Calrod or etching-foil heaters mounted on the evaporator coils for periodic thawing of frost buildup and glass-sealed elements to prevent arcing and failure. The inclusion of heat tracing warms door frames and seals to prevent condensation and icing. This component is crucial for maintaining the correct environment inside your refrigerator by applying heat for defrost cycles and around openings to prevent excessive frost accumulation or freezing. Common symptoms indicating the need for a replacement include burnt-out, cracked, or separated elements. Before purchasing, customers should verify their device's model number for compatibility to avoid mismatches.
