A transport climate control system (10, 100, 200, 305) for providing climate control to a climate controlled space (12, 150, 250, 320) of a transport unit (125, 225), the transport climate control system comprising: a transport climate control circuit comprising: a compressor that compresses a working fluid passing through the transport climate control circuit, an evaporator that absorbs heat from the climate controlled space and evaporates the working fluid, said evaporator comprising: an evaporator coil having an inlet for receiving the working fluid and an outlet for returning the working fluid, at least two fans (3010, 3020) that control air flow around a first side of the evaporator coil and a second side of the evaporator coil, characterized in that the system comprises an electric heating device that is positioned at an outlet of the evaporator coil and configured to generate heat, the electric heating device extending across the evaporator coil between the first side and the second side, and a damper that moves between at least an open position and a closed position to separate the evaporator from the climate controlled space and to control an amount of the air flow between the evaporator and the climate controlled space, a controller (15, 170, 270, 330) configured to control the transport climate control circuit and configured to defrost the evaporator coil by: closing the damper when a defrost event is triggered to separate the evaporator from the climate controlled space, instructing the transport climate control circuit to supply heat to or around one section of the evaporator coil by turning on the electric heating device to generate heat, and independently controlling each of the at least two fans (3010, 3020) to move the air around the evaporator coil in a controlled direction so that heat from the one section of the evaporator coil is used to convectively heat the inlet of the evaporator coil. a transport climate control circuit

direction so that heat from the one section of the evaporator coil is used to convectively heat the inlet of the evaporator coil. closing the damper when a defrost event is triggered to separate the
