Changing defrost heater

[turismo05]

Hi Can anyone shed some light on changing a defrost heater on a Aeg Santo 75348kg. I can't see how to get at it with limited movement of the evaporator.

Many thanks in advance

Rather you than me!! Is this one with evaporator on the ceiling of the freezer compartment? If so, once you've removed the cover, there should be enough movement to pull evaporator forward and allow it to drop. I'm assuming unit is fully defrosted?

Thanks for the reply.. and yes it is!

I can drop it all down a little but i'm worried about the copper pipe feeding the evaporator getting damaged. Looks like the whole lot fan, evaporator, heater and sensors are all part of the same unit that has been put together then installed.

Nightmare!
