It is a genuine item that is supplied by the original equipment manufacturer. This part is made for use with GE refrigerators. The defrost thermostat acts as a sensor which protects the evaporator from overheating during the defrost cycle. Unfortunately, over time it may wear out, get damaged or stop working all together eventually requiring a replacement. Commonly if the freezer is not defrosting, is too cold or too warm, or if there is a frost build up in the freezer a faulty defrost thermostat may be the cause. Note, this high-quality component is sold individually. To replace it, you will need a screwdriver to take the housing apart. The switch simply connects to the unit with attached lead wires.
