Replacement Part for WR50X10068 Defrost Thermostat -For GE Refrigerators (AP3884317, PS1011716)

Worked as expected. Probably should buya backup now in case I have another issue a few years down the road then I wont need to wait ona repalcement. (But Im lazy and probably wont)

It came on time and it saved my refrigerator works perfectly for the $7.57 past I saved the $1,400 refrigerator

Good quality

The part seems to be working. UPS delayed the shipping for almost a week.

Got the part on time. It was fairly easy to replace this part with the one on the refrigerator and it's working again! Saved money by not having the appliance repair guy come out!

Thought my problem was my thermostat.This was really the problem,refrigerator kept freezing up and blocking the freezer defrost drain, and froze the refrigerator compartment closed. Once I installed this, the refrigerator was back to its old self,34 degrees, and -10 in the freezer. Bought a wireless thermostat and used it to monitor it,worked perfectly to confirm everything was working properly.

good part ,,,cheapest price .. hard to make profit when part are so high ...Job would have not toke so long ( 1/2 hour) but i had to switch the doors from right open to left open (1 1/2 hour job total

Received the part in "off the shelf" good condition. However, in a bench test prior to installation, the new part proved to be defective. The thermostat is supposed to "close" when cold (so it turns on the defrost element). This part is closed all the time regardless of the temperature. I could not get it to "open". I gave feedback to the supplier (DR Quality Parts) and am waiting for a response. I will update this review if anything changes.

The item looked good, sealed in a package, but to be on the safe side (having heard of these being defective from others) I decided to test it with a multimeter to check for continuity/no continuity to see if it would cycle when frozen and then thawed as it is supposed to. Good thing I did because when removed from the freezer and left to warm up it was stuck in the closed contacts position. Even further heating with a hair dryer did not cause it to return to its normally open when warm position. It should only cycle to closed when about 30 deg F. Thus it was a dudd but at least I did not go through the whole take out the old, put in the new, find that it doesn't work frustration. Really disappointed as I waited about 2 weeks for this thing!
