Product review (5 stars): If you are looking at this and the defrost heater, get both!
If you are going to the trouble of replacing the defrost heater in a GE by removing the ice maker, the light, the condenser fan, and then melting all of the ice that built up, spend the few more dollars and replace this guy at the same time! In my refrigerator, I had to cut the wires between the old thermostat and the wiring harness, then use wire nuts to put the replacement into the circuit. So, be prepared to solder and heat-shrink, use electrical tape, or use wire nuts like I did.
This part works WITH the defrost heater, so replace them both at the same time and be done with the job!
The seller shipped FAST and it arrived well-packaged.
