Product review (5 stars): This item works like it is supposed to
fridge was not defrosting and Icing over. replaced the thermostat and heating element. Has worked perfectly ever since. This item works like it is supposed to....UPDATE--UPDATE
I just wanted to update. I replaced these in 2014, this is 2017 and still working perfectly!!! By the way..I am a 50some year old woman and I found this easy to replace. Just saying...anyone can do this if they try, and don't be afraid of this part. works great.
