Product review (5 stars): I'm glad that I did because it works great
I read all of the reviews and decided to take a chance on this thermostat due to the huge price difference for the OEM part.  I'm glad that I did because it works great.  I installed the part over three weeks ago and everything is fine so far.  You can be sure that I will report back if anything goes wrong.  The only thing even remotely negative that I can say is the metal capillary tube is a little longer than the one on the original part, but that isn't a problem because everything fits neatly under the white plastic cover.  I was very concerned after I installed the part because the refrigerator did not come on immediately after I powered it up.  I went and did a few minutes of Internet research to see what the problem might be and when I came back, the refrigerator was working like a champ.  I no longer wake up to melted ice cubes or have to worry about milk spoiling in less than a week.  I am very satisfied.
