Help restore proper refrigerator defrost operation with this ERP aftermarket replacement thermostat for compatible GE appliances. The thermostat monitors evaporator temperature and opens or closes the defrost circuit at its rated temperatures; a failed thermostat can cause excessive frost, poor cooling, or an incomplete defrost cycle. This is not represented as a genuine GE part. Verify the complete appliance model, original part, connector, lead length, and temperature ratings before ordering.
