Product review (5 stars): Exact fit for Kenmore/Frigidaire 25358682895 and fixed issue of fridge tripping GFCI on defrost cycle
This is an exact OEM Kenmore/Fridgidare replacement part. As many people and even manufacturers suggests not to plug a fridge off a GFCI outlet, being in the garage a GFCI outlet is the only option I had at the time. When we moved our 20-Year Old fridge into the garage it worked fine for about 10 hours before going into defrost cycle and tripped the GFCI outlet. Manually turning the defrost timer then resetting the outlet turned the fridge back on but then tripped it again as soon as it goes into defrost cycle. The problem was the defrost heater element was leaking current to ground causing the GFCI to trip. Fully disconnected the heating element was measuring 680 Ohms with respect to ground. Replacing the defrost heating element solved the GFCI tripping problem. So far fridge has been running non stop for a few days now and without issues.
