This is the kind where the engineers were smokin' some goot sheet and decided to make the defrost heater and integral part of the evaporator coil, I guess under the delusion that the heater would never burn out. I gotta git me some o' dat! Anyway, the replacement procedure is a bit more involved that in most other refrigerators.

A few extra tips........
...bend the tabs a bit...
....grind the offending rivets off from both the old and new heaters...
.......
..the wire will need to be rerouted, I just removed the pin from the connector,
did not want to cut and reconnect the wire..
I got more pics. if'n you gets stuck.....keep us posted....

I leave the pan attached just removing the 1 rivet on the side.
the pan stays on the heater....no wire modifications at all....
