Using this Fisher & Paykel defrost element is straightforward. First, make sure your fridge or freezer is an early 680 series model and uses R134a gas. Unplug your appliance before starting any installation work. Splice the original plug, wires, and overtemp fuses onto the element wires carefully. Once it's connected properly, plug your fridge or freezer back in. As for maintenance, keep the element clean. You can gently wipe it down when you clean the freezer. When it comes to safety, always follow the electrical safety rules. Never touch the element when the appliance is plugged in and wet.
