Ellen W Eugene , OR September 29, 2014 Bad thermostat Appliance Parts Pros was able to help me find the right part. It got to us quickly and we were able to install it easily. The "capillary" wire attached to the thermostat had us scratching our heads -- what to do with that coil of wire? At first we sort of draped it in exposed fashion on the fridge wall, but the fridge ran waaay too cold. Now we have this coil of wire tucked into the back panel and temps are stabilizing in the right zone. Now we have our old, manual defrost garage fridge back in operation, and we couldn't be more pleased. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
