We were having a problem with our Frigidaire side-by-side, icing up in the freezer, and not defrosting properly. I installed this thermostat, and it fixed the problem. As other people have mentioned, the shrink sleeves could be smaller, and they don’t shrink very easily. I have a heat gun, and still had gaps. If you have other ones to use, I would suggest just replacing those. Otherwise, it works fine.

Fixed ice machine. Kept freezing up and defrost wasnt working. Had to thaw it out to disassemble with a hairdryer. Only complaint is the but connectors. They are junk

Part came in 2 days and was the exact part i needed. Fixed my refridgerator as it was not cooling and defroster was not working and built up with frost in freezer.

I was hoping this item would work on my old Electrolux fridge that wasn't defrosting... I was pretty sure my defrost timer and my heating element were good and took a chance that this part was all I needed and would work on my fridge, and the gamble paid off. My fridge is working perfectly again... Thank you for making this product available at an affordable price. Highly recommended for anyone who might have an old fridge that isn't getting cold enough in the main compartment but is icing over in the freezer. It's a super simple part to swap out and can breathe new life into an aging appliance.

I have a Frigidaire Gallery Model# FGHC2379KP2 in the garage and saw that the temp on both the freezer and refrigerator started to go up one day. First thing I thought was that the coils were likely freezing over. Sure enough, I noticed the screws holding the panel to the back of the freezer had a build up of ice on them, as did the coil once I removed the panel. I ordered this part and defrosted the coils in the meantime with a hair dryer to get the fridge running as normal again. Took me about 15 minutes to swap the old defrost thermostat with the BlueStars unit and it's been running like new since!

Ultimately won't know if it's performing right until I get the control board installed. However the install was easy.

Super happy to have found this item. My frigidaire side-by-side was broken -- freezer size working and refrigerator not keeping cool. Quick YT lookup confirmed this T-stat is likely malfunctioning. Easy replacement with one exception -- tried to use a hair dryer instead of a heat gun to set the enclosed shrink wrap around the but-end connectors and it took so long that it softened the connectors and the wires fell out. Simply re-crimped the connections on one wire, secured with electrical tape and skipped the shrink warp on the other instead sealing well with more electrical tape. Tucked wires and connections in the back away from a water source. Restarted the fridge and crossed my fingers. The next morning, all was well! Super stoked to avoid a very costly appliance repair visit let alone waiting for days or even weeks to get an appointment. Hope the company stands by it's lifetime warranty but hoping to not need find out.

The part from blue stars is working fantastic. My freezer now isn’t an ice cave from the planet Hoth. The reason for 3 stars is whatever dingleberry packed up the package that was sent to me forgot one of the electrical butt connectors in the bag, forcing me to go to the local Home Depot to buy one so I could install it. Where’s the QA? Anyway, installation was super easy. Oh, if you don’t have wire cutters, it’s gonna be a rough one for you.

After installing and using it for 3+ months, my fridge works perfectly. No more icing up and the bottom fridge warming up.Saved myself buying a replacement fridge.No instructions, but very easy installation from the internet. No soldering required.If your freezer is icing over and the bottom part is not cold. Just try replacing the defrosting sensor. Saves you some money.
