## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ saved me at least $45 or as much as $1500
*by D***3 on August 18, 2023*

I bought my frigidaire french door fridge used and had problems with the refriferator being a biit too warm. 45-50F. After much troubleshooting, cursing, bleeding, and breaking stuff, I found that the condensor coils were not defrosting. After finding the defrost elements had continuity, I decided the most likely culprit was the thermistor or the control board. Parts supplier wanted $65-$70 for this little piece of metal. I got it, attached it, and it worked like a charm! That first hiss of the unit defrosting was music to my ears. Fridge and freezer temps are now stable and within normal operating perameters. Three different times I was ready to chuck this fridge into the yard and buy a new one. If snyone had been able to ship one to me in less than two weeks, this probably would have gone a much more expensive route. Well done!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple to install
*by K***S on October 27, 2022*

The most difficult part of replacing this part is just getting to it. The installation is easy and quick. I had no issues getting it to fit or connect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It worked
*by A***R on September 28, 2024*

Freezer was working but had to keep defrosting to get refrigerator cold. This part fixed it. The auto defrost works now perfectly
