Review: saved me at least $45 or as much as $1500 - 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!
Review: Great price! Worked perfectly. - Value for money and easy to install while watching a YouTube Video!
