saved me at least $45 or as much as $1500
I bought my frigidaire french door fridge used and had problems with the refriferator being a biit too warm. 45-50F. After much troubleshooting, cursing, bleeding, and breaking stuff, I found that the condensor coils were not defrosting. After finding the defrost elements had continuity, I decided the most likely culprit was the thermistor or the control board. Parts supplier wanted $65-$70 for this little piece of metal. I got it, attached it, and it worked like a charm! That first hiss of the unit defrosting was music to my ears. Fridge and freezer temps are now stable and within normal operating perameters. Three different times I was ready to chuck this fridge into the yard and buy a new one. If snyone had been able to ship one to me in less than two weeks, this probably would have gone a much more expensive route. Well done!

Fits my Frigidaire model LGHB2867PF3 and lasted 8 years
Fits my Frigidaire model LGHB2867PF3 which I bought in 2014. The original thermostat failed in 2017 after only 3 years. I replaced it with this one and just had to replace it again in 2025 so it lasted 8 years. I guess this is good by todays standards.

Simple to install
The most difficult part of replacing this part is just getting to it. The installation is easy and quick. I had no issues getting it to fit or connect.

Not True OEM Part
The defrost thermostat was delivered in a relabeled bag - clearly not a true OEM item. It did fit correctly, but did not function. The device is supposed to turn on when below freezing, which it would do, but it would immediately turn off, preventing the defrost cycle from running.

Not OEM.
Not OEM as described. This came in a plain clear bag with no labels like OEM parts have.

It worked
Freezer was working but had to keep defrosting to get refrigerator cold. This part fixed it. The auto defrost works now perfectly
