AMI PARTS WR51X10055 Refrigerator Defrost Heater Kit, Temperature Sensor WR55X10025, High Limit Thermostat WR50X10068 Replacement Compatible with General Electric

I purchased this in Sept 2024 and it's still going strong in June 2025. Installation is easy (just watch a YouTube video). Definitely works as intended for the cost. I didn't notice any sort of odor.Something to note, my thermostat was also blown. I had replaced it with the one that came in this parts kit despite it saying it wasn't compatible (although it was similar) and it worked like a charm.

I bought the AMI defrost heater for my GE refrigerator, and it did the job perfectly. Installation was a breeze — everything lined up just right, and it took very little time to swap out the old heater. Once installed, my fridge was back to working like it should, with no more frost buildup or cooling issues. Great quality part and a simple, effective fix. Highly recommend it if your GE fridge is having defrost problems.

Awesome, came.in quickly. And we fixed our refrigerator in 2mins. Great product. 👍 and super cheap compared to some stores. One store qouted us $70 for the part. Not even the day of. We got it on Amazon for 15? And delivered the next day. I'd say this was a win!

Easily installed yesterday (with the help of Youtube videos), fit our 2003 GE frig/freezer as advertised, great price when compared to the same OEM part, defrost working again, and freezer and refrigerator back to proper temperatures. BUT, 4 stars instead of 5, because the odor the new heating element put out last night when it went into the defrost cycle was almost overwhelming. Although that odor is subsiding today, our sinuses still burn from the air pollution in the house. Other reviews mentioned the same issue. Perhaps it's some coating on the heating element wire that needs to burn off.Day 4: Odor is continuing to subside, although still noticeable, especially inside the freezing compartment. Our sinuses no longer are burning while inside the house. But, I'd be reluctant to install another defrost heating element like this, without the warranty of a professional appliance repair service that would guarantee no caustic odors from the installation.Day 6: Caustic odor essentially absent. RECOMMNEDATION: If you intend to install this defrost heating element in your refrigerator, plan to put the frig outside and let it run for a week before moving it into your home.

Everything lines up. Replacement parts look exactly like originals. Took about an hour to disassemble, defrost, replace parts and restart. Have wire nuts and electrical tape handy. You’re going to need the former as you have to cut the thermistor and thermal switch wires. I broke the plastic tab (not a big deal) for the heater element connector so just connected it to the new unit and taped up to assure it stays connected during reassembly. Otherwise, it’s not going anywhere.Installed July 19, 2025. Let’s see if everything is still working 3-6-12… months from now.

Repaired my refrigerator myself after finding freezer defrost element expired. Cost beat the manufacturer's unit and I didn't have to pay for labor.A year later.Heater burned out. Ordered and installed a new one with termination/thermostat left from the 3 piece kit. New heater now heats up so much/long that the ice cubes melt then refreeze/fuzing into one large iceberg.Thinking a new/different rating termination might fix this issue.Update -Ordered and installed new defrost termination. Be advised if ordering a kit, as I initially did, or if purchasing just a new defrost termination alone, the numbers printed on the side of the unit. The kit defrost termination (thermostat) had L140-30F. The correct temperature (at least for my refrigerator/freezer should have been L60-32F. All's well after 24hrs. Ice cubes NOT fused.

it works great and saved my a thousand $.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Perfect fit, easy install, working well. Will have to see about longevity.
