Thermostat solved problem but Defrost Timer did not work
September 24, 2023|KBAC, Kenner LA

Thermostat solved the probllem but was a bit tedious to install pulling insulation from old thermostat and putting it on new thermostat. Other wise fairly easy to install. Defrost timer easy to install but DID NOT WORK TWICE!!!

Easy to install
October 28, 2020|Danny k, Gulf coast Mississippi

It was very easy to install!!! Screw driver is all that was needed!! Had to take the plastic sleeve from the old wire and put on the new one was the most difficult part...also the plug ins were not in the same position as the original but that wasn't a problem either

Excellent Service
March 09, 2020|Alan Q, NJ

My old 21 year old fridge was failing, and Sears PartsDirect had the components I needed. At a fraction of the cost of using a repair service. On YouTube you'll find loads of fridge repair videos. What impressed me most was how easy they made returns. If you're not exactly sure which part is failing and need to test out a couple of parts, they make the returns simple. I'll be using Sears PartsDirect again.
