Replacement Heater Drain Tube
The Appliance Factory Parts 7014712 heater drain tube measures 28-1/2 inches and is designed for Sub-Zero refrigeration units. It replaces the original component responsible for carrying defrost water away from the evaporator area. This part fits ten specific models including 241RFD, 3211RFD, 201FD, 251RFD, 245RFD, 361RFD, 215FD, 801RFD, 2011ICE and 249FF. Buyers with other Sub-Zero models or different brands should verify compatibility before ordering.
Continuous Defrost Operation
During each defrost cycle the tube channels melt water from the heater assembly to the drain pan without restriction. It remains passive while the refrigerator runs normally and only sees flow when the defrost heater activates. The fixed length matches the factory routing so the tube does not kink or sag over time. It is not a universal fit part and cannot be shortened or extended for other installations.
Thermal And Electrical Safety
The tube sits in the freezer compartment where temperatures cycle well below freezing during normal operation. It is constructed from materials rated for this environment and does not carry electrical current itself. No power draw or noise is generated by the tube. Installers should ensure the drain opening is clear of ice before fitting the new tube to prevent immediate blockage.
