My replacement heater kit has just arrived. I read from the instructions that I may need RTV102 to seal the bell connector if I need to cut the wire. Will regular caulk for home repairs work? Originally Posted by: tjl I removed the back panel today as instructed by Gene. The continuity test on the heater turned out to be open. The thermostat showed a low resistance (<1, freezer cold). I am pretty sure now the defrost heater is burned. I remember in another post somebody said both thermostat and the heater need to be changed. Do I have to change both?
