Hello Shannon. Based on the model number you provided, WR9X502 is located inside the controls inside the refrigerator. You will also need to test the heater WR51X464 and the defrost thermostat WR50X129. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
