This worked great as a replacement for an old defrost thermostat we have in our garage fridge. The freezer started filling with frost and I finally figured out this was the part that had stopped working. It took maybe 30 minutes to replace after I got the part from Amazon. There are several videos online on how to change it. It saved me a service call and hundreds of $$$ for such an inexpensive part.

Easy install my fridge kept icing up and after install no more issue with that. This from what I understand is a sensor that turns on a heating element in fridge so it doesn't ice up at the back of the fridge and cause ice to build up. Easy fix if you are a d.i.y person. Like me.

Part seemed ok, but is aluminum wiring. My fridge has copper. As such, I returned it and sourced equivalent part elsewhere. Wire type should be specified in the description.

Last time this happened about 10 years ago the Sears repairman told me what he was changing. And I watched him replace it. I wasn't sure if it was the same problem again. The refrigerator was warm and had ice blocking the back cooling ports. The freezer was fine. Sears quoted me $425.00 for repairing a 1999 Kenmore frigerator. So I declined that quote and looked online for the part. Found part # and ordered it from Amazon for $7.99. Fridge works fine now.

I have a Kenmore Top Freezer Refrigerator that had heavy ice formed in the freezer section and the refrigerator section is not cooling. I had similar problem with my GE side by side in the past so I suspect it is the defrost thermostat that has gone bad. I ordered the Bluestars defrost thermostat to replace mine which is equivalent for the Whirlpool model. It took a full day for the freezer to defrost the sheets of ices in the freezer and I still have to spend 45 mins just to clear the ices and remove the frozen foods from the freezer section. After cleaning up the remaining ices and frozen water from the freezer, I have to remove the ice maker and the rear panel of the freezer to get access to the defrost thermostat. I checked the defrost heater for continuity and replace the defrost thermostat. Once it is replaced, I put everything back and turn the refrigerator back on. It took 8 hours later for the refrigerator section to cool down while the freezer section get really cold in about an hour but no ice build up. My frig is working again after 1 hour of labor and less than $10 for parts including the butt connectors. The Whirlpool part would have cost $20, there is no disconcernable different than this part. On the GE Artica that I had problem with, I had to change both the heater and the thermostat. Apparently, the GE has a different heater element that could be burned out. In both cases, I could not tell if the defrost thermostats are bad until I cut them out of the frig and test them. The new ones look identical but they are normally close where the defective ones are always open. So I ordered another spare one just in case, they are cheap enough to keep them as spare, just like the capacitors for the central HVAC.
