Samsung da47-00318e Metal Sheath Heater

Product Description

The SAMSUNG da47-00318e is an OEM metal sheath heater designed for use in Samsung refrigeration equipment. Metal sheath heaters generate radiant heat through a resistance element enclosed in a protective metal casing, making them durable and suited for the wet, confined environments found inside refrigerator and freezer compartments. This part is manufactured to original equipment specifications, ensuring a direct fit and consistent thermal output. Licensed appliance technicians and refrigeration service professionals install this component during defrost system repairs.

This heater is used in defrost cycle applications within Samsung refrigerators and freezer units. It is positioned near the evaporator coil to melt accumulated frost during scheduled defrost cycles, maintaining efficient airflow and proper unit temperatures. Installation typically occurs during a defrost system failure diagnosis where the heater element has failed open or shorted out.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician or refrigeration service professional. Disconnect power to the refrigerator at the outlet or breaker before beginning any service work. Handle the metal sheath carefully to avoid bending or cracking the element, which can cause premature failure.
