Traulsen 329-60079-01 Defrost Heater 500W ULT27

Product Description

The TRAULSEN 329-60079-01 is a defrost heater element with an integrated defrost termination switch, rated at 500 watts. It is designed for use in Traulsen commercial refrigeration equipment, specifically the ULT27 model. This component generates the heat needed during the defrost cycle to melt frost accumulation from the evaporator coil, while the built-in termination switch cuts power to the heater when a set temperature is reached, protecting the unit from overheating. Installation is typically performed by a licensed commercial refrigeration technician during scheduled maintenance or defrost system repair.

This defrost heater assembly is intended for use in Traulsen ULT27 commercial refrigeration units. It serves as a direct replacement for the original factory-installed defrost heating element. Typical install scenarios include defrost system failures, burnout of the original heater element, or defrost termination switch malfunction. This part is suited for commercial kitchen and foodservice environments where reliable defrost performance is critical to maintaining safe product temperatures.
