How this part works
The heating element is the part that turns electricity into heat inside your fridge. When it fails, the appliance may power up and the controls may work, but it never reaches temperature.
Signs it needs replacing
- Fridge takes far longer than usual to heat, or does not heat at all
- A visible blister, split or burnt patch on the element
- The safety switch or RCD trips when the heat cycle starts
