Thermostat solved problem but Defrost Timer did not work
September 24, 2023

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!!!

perfect replacement
October 30, 2021

Easy replacement , saved me a boatload of money and time trying to get a new fridge. No one has the fridge we wanted in stock. Minimum of 6 weeks wait for anything close to what we were looking for. Had new thermostat installed in 30 minutes , old fridge purring like new.

Easy to install
March 16, 2021

The replacement part that I received was not the same one pictured on the website. The part number on the bag was correct so I went ahead and installed the part. The final step of the install was putting the knobs back on. The control knob on this particular factory certified part seems to be sitting further back than the previous one installed, because there is a gap between the knob and the face plate. Other than that everything seems to be working fine.

It was very simple to install. Once it was installed, the fridge was up and running nice and cold in an hour.

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

It's Sears - What do you expect?
July 01, 2020

The part arrived on time. I was billed the amount I was invoiced. The part wasn't an exact match, and I had to improvise. Fortunately, I guessed correctly. The part appeared to have been pack in a hurry, and it took time to 'un-crimp' the long wire while hoping it wasn't damaged.
