Frequently asked questions
What is the RF153 defrost heater element?
It is a 450W, 240V medium double pass defrost heater element, 520mm long, listed for Westinghouse and Kelvinator frost-free fridges.
How do I choose the right Westinghouse defrost heater size?
Westinghouse uses small, medium and large defrost heaters. This is the medium 450W, 520mm size. It only fits if your old element matches in wattage and length.
How do I test a 450W defrost heater element?
Unplug the fridge, remove the freezer back panel, disconnect the heater and measure across the two terminals with a multimeter set to ohms. A good 450W, 240V heater reads about 128 ohms. OL means it needs replacing.
What are the signs the defrost heater has failed?
Ice on the freezer back panel, a warm fridge while the freezer is cold, water leaking into the crisper or onto the floor, and the fridge working after a manual defrost before the problem returns.
Should I check anything else while the panel is off?
Yes. Check the defrost thermostat while the panel is off, because a failed thermostat can cause the same symptoms.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes. Orders placed by 6pm Sydney time ship the same business day from Colebee, NSW, and we ship across Australia.

Westinghouse uses small, medium and large defrost heaters, so measure before you order. This is the RF153, a medium 450W, 520mm double pass element listed for Westinghouse and Kelvinator fridges. It only fits if your old element matches in wattage and length.

Check before you order
