Problem for GE GSH25JFR Side by Side Refrigerator

I see a red light like something is red hot behind




By joshuae_jone on Nov 06, 2009

" "
I see a red light like something is red hot behind the back panel in the freezer. I removed the panel and I see a coil with 2 clear tubes that have some type of spiral metal inside. There is 1 midways of the coil and the other is at the bottom. Only the bottom one is getting red hot. What is this?

- Solution #1 was very helpful and the heater shut off. I had unplugged the refrigerator just in case something was wrong and I have plugged it back up but I can't hear the compressor turn on. All the lights are on but I don't hear the unit cooling. Is there a reset button?

Those are the defrost heaters and glows red hot when defrost action is active. It should turn off when defrosting is complete or when the temperature is about 46 degrees Fahrenheit. If it does not turn off, the freezer will not function properly or it will be warm than normal. Have the defrost sensor assembly checked by a qualified technician.
