## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect match, wonderful price -- too good to be true!
*by D***O on July 29, 2017*

$50 cheaper than the GE part. Identical to the assembly I pulled out of my 1995 model year GE Profile TFX22PRXAAA -- wiring harness, heaters, thermostat, and 3-prong connector. Hole centers for the heater tube frames were a perfect match. The heaters in this assembly, as opposed to the WR51X443, have an overall length of about 9 1/2" -- smaller so they can fit in the narrower 22 cu ft side by side fridge. I was also able to confirm the part # when I looked at the "Technical Data" sheet fastened right behind the middle of the fridge's kick panel. Under "Replacement Parts", the WR51X442 was listed for "Defrost Heaters & Harness." BTW, before ordering--if you're willing to remove the back panel from the freezer compartment--you can do a quick test on your existing heater by separating the connector halves, and testing continuity on the two pins with the larger diameter pink & blue wires. If open circuit, you KNOW that this part needs to be replaced.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars
*by J***H on March 2, 2018*

A perfect fit. Nothing to dislike.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install
*by Y***A on October 27, 2019*

With the lack in of reliability new computer ran refrigerators have I chose to DIY the heater defrosters. Watched a YouTube video also ordered a long handle magnetic screwdriver ( a must have ) and fixed my refrigerator unit within 30 minutes. Still working 5 months post install.
