easy to install as well.The fridge is working fine now and I saved a ton of money because I fixed it myself.
Replaced it with the Defrost timer at the same time.

Out of the blue my fridge started acting up and eventually nothing would stay cold! After some research I figured out it was a defrost issue, but I didn't know which item needed fixing. I was just about to call for repair...but after finding out what it costs to have someone come up to the house just to look at the fridge I decided to buy the thermostat AND the defrost timer and replace them both (I tested the heating coil with a multi-meter so I knew that was OK).For $25 I got both parts (and most of that was shipping b/c I expedited it), they arrived in 2 days, it took 25 minutes at max to replace both items and the fridge has worked perfectly for over a month.
You'd be silly not to go this route if you know you have a defrost issue...brand new parts for less than half the cost of a service call, let alone what they would charge you for the parts, etc.
And word to the wise...just go ahead and order both the timer and the thermostat I replaced the timer first and the thermostat went a few days later...better to just replace both at the same time IMO.
