Using this Westinghouse defrost element is straightforward. First, make sure your refrigerator is unplugged to avoid any electrical hazards. Carefully remove the old defrost element from your fridge. If your model requires it, transfer the plug and wiring from the old element to the new one. Then, install the new element in the same place where the old one was. Plug your refrigerator back in, and it should start working as normal. When it comes to maintenance, keep the element clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth every few months. Avoid using any abrasive materials or harsh chemicals as they can damage the element. If you notice any signs of damage or the element stops working, stop using it immediately and contact a professional. Remember, if you're ever unsure about the installation or suitability of this part for your fridge, don't hesitate to reach out to us with your full model number.
