Kolpak 500002492 Door Heater Wire Kit – 235-Inch Element

Kolpak 500002492 Heater Wire Service Kit — 235-Inch Element

The Kolpak 500002492 heater wire service kit is a replacement heater assembly for compatible commercial walk-in refrigeration door applications. The heater element measures 235 inches (19 feet 7 inches). Match the part number and door assembly documentation before ordering; heater length alone does not establish compatibility.

Function and Service Applications

Door-frame heater wire supplies heat along the intended door perimeter to help limit condensation and ice at the opening. A properly matched, functioning heater supports normal door operation and sealing in cold-storage service. This listing is for heater wire service, not an oven heating element or an evaporator defrost heater.

Product Details

• Manufacturer part reference: 500002492
• Brand reference: Kolpak
• Part type: door heater wire service kit
• Heater element length: 235 inches
• Ordering unit: one kit
• Application: compatible commercial walk-in door heater assemblies

Confirm the electrical rating, lead configuration, included installation materials and exact door application against the supplied kit and equipment documentation. Do not substitute package dimensions or a rounded “20-foot” catalog label for the specified element length.

When to Inspect the Door Heater

• Recurring frost or ice around the heated door perimeter.
• A door that sticks where ice accumulates at the frame.
• Visible heater-wire insulation or connection damage.
• A heater circuit that fails the manufacturer's prescribed electrical tests.

These symptoms do not establish heater failure by themselves. A refrigeration technician should also inspect gasket contact, door alignment, moisture infiltration, electrical supply and applicable controls before replacing the wire.

Before You Order

Record the walk-in identification, door model or assembly number, serial number and original heater markings. Confirm that the parts documentation calls for 500002492, then compare the 235-inch element length, heater routing, connections and electrical requirements. Model-specific compatibility is not established for this listing; do not assume this kit fits every Kolpak cooler or freezer.

Installation should follow the equipment and kit instructions with power isolated. Do not cut, shorten, overlap or modify heater wire unless the applicable manufacturer instructions expressly permit it. Verify the complete circuit and door seal after service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the heater element?

The heater element is 235 inches long, equivalent to 19 feet 7 inches. This is the element length, not the shipping-package length.

What is the part number for this heater wire kit?

The manufacturer part reference is Kolpak 500002492. Match this number to the applicable door assembly parts documentation before ordering.

Will it fit every Kolpak walk-in freezer?

No universal fit is claimed. Door construction, heater routing and electrical requirements vary. Verify the exact assembly and serial-number application.

Does ice around the door mean the heater must be replaced?

Not necessarily. Air leaks, gasket damage, alignment problems and control or supply faults can also contribute. Diagnose the cause before replacing the heater.

Can I cut the 235-inch heater to fit a smaller door?

Do not cut or alter the heater unless the instructions supplied for the exact kit explicitly allow it. Changing a heater's construction can change its electrical behavior.

Is this an evaporator defrost element?

This listing is for a door heater wire service kit. It should not be selected as an evaporator defrost or cooking-equipment element.

What should I send for fitment assistance?

Send the equipment and door identification labels, original heater part markings, electrical ratings and clear photographs of the routing and connections.
