XPARTCO 5303918214 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
The XPARTCO 5303918214 is an aftermarket replacement defrost thermostat kit for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators — commonly used on side-by-side and French door models equipped with an ice maker. This thermostat monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils: when the coils drop below a set temperature, it allows power to reach the defrost heater so frost can be cleared; once the coils warm back up, it cuts power to the heater again, protecting the evaporator from being overheated during that process.
The most common reasons this thermostat gets replaced are a classic pair of symptoms: the freezer stays cold while the fresh food refrigerator section runs warm, or the refrigerator simply isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Because this thermostat sits behind the rear access panel near the ice maker on many compatible models, replacing it typically involves removing the ice maker and the back panel to reach it — a more involved repair than a thermostat mounted in an easily accessible spot. It directly replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, and 75303918214.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet and turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. If your model has an ice maker, remove it first using a screwdriver to gain clearance for the next steps. Remove the back panel with a screwdriver to expose the defrost thermostat. Take out the existing thermostat and disconnect its wiring, labeling or photographing each connection first. Install the new 5303918214 thermostat by connecting the wires according to the wiring diagram provided with the kit, then secure the thermostat to the main housing using the small mounting screws. Reinstall the back panel, plug the refrigerator back in, turn the water supply back on, and reinstall the ice maker. Test the refrigerator over the following day to confirm both compartments are cooling evenly and the defrost cycle is running normally. Tools needed: screwdriver, wire cutters/strippers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to remove the ice maker for this repair?
On many compatible models, yes — the thermostat sits behind the rear access panel in an area that the ice maker partially blocks, so removing it first gives you the clearance needed to reach the panel and the thermostat behind it. It's an extra step compared to some simpler defrost thermostat replacements, but it's a standard part of this particular repair.
My freezer is cold but the fridge is warm. Is this the thermostat?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a failed defrost thermostat. When it fails, the defrost heater can't run correctly to clear frost from the evaporator coil, and the resulting ice buildup blocks the airflow that's supposed to carry cold air to the fresh food compartment. The freezer, sitting closer to the coil, often stays reasonably cold, while the fresh food side runs warm since it depends on that circulated air.
I replaced the thermostat but my freezer temperature is still fluctuating. What should I check next?
Replacing this thermostat resolves the issue for most customers, but if fluctuation continues, it's worth checking the other components in the same defrost circuit — the defrost timer and defrost heater — since a failure in either of those can produce similar temperature instability even with a good thermostat installed. It's also worth confirming the door seals are sealing properly, since a poor seal lets warm air in and can cause temperature swings unrelated to the defrost system.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire OEM part, but is manufactured to match the temperature threshold, mounting configuration, and function of the original 5303918214 defrost thermostat used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators.

The XPARTCO WR51X10055 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator defrost heater and bracket assembly compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, Haier, Americana, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. The defrost heater is a glass quartz tube heater mounted on a bracket below the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment. During each automatic defrost cycle, the heater energizes and melts any frost that has accumulated on the evaporator coils — maintaining unobstructed airflow through the coils so the refrigerator can cool efficiently. When the heater fails, frost accumulates on the coils unchecked, blocking airflow and causing both the freezer and fresh food sections to gradually warm up.
Rated at 120V, 725W, this single quartz tube heater assembly measures 12-1/8" L x 3-3/8" W x 2-1/8" H and includes the heater element and mounting bracket. It directly replaces WR51X10030, AP3183311, 914088, AH303781, EA303781, PS303781, SH323, and EAP303781. Often replaced together with the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) and temperature sensor (WR55X10025) for a complete defrost system repair. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR51X10055 Refrigerator Defrost Heater Assembly fixes GE and Hotpoint refrigerators where frost is building up on the evaporator coils, the freezer is too warm, the fresh food section is warming up, or the refrigerator is running continuously without cooling properly.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator before beginning. Remove all food and shelving from the freezer compartment. Remove the freezer bottom drawer and the back panel screws (typically 2 hex-head screws). Slide out the back panel to expose the evaporator coils and defrost heater assembly. If the coils are covered in frost or ice, use a hair dryer to melt the ice before removing the heater — do not chip or force the heater free while iced over, as the glass element is fragile and will break. Disconnect the heater wires from the wiring harness — note the orientation before disconnecting. Remove the 2 Phillips screws securing the heater bracket and lift the heater assembly out. Install the new WR51X10055 heater assembly in the same position, reconnect the wires, and reinstall the bracket screws. Reinstall the back panel, shelving, and food. Restore power and verify the defrost cycle operates normally. Wear work gloves throughout — the evaporator area has sharp edges. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, hair dryer (if coils are iced over), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the refrigerator defrost heater do?
Modern refrigerators use an automatic defrost system that periodically runs a defrost cycle — typically once or twice a day — to melt frost that accumulates on the evaporator coils during normal operation. The defrost heater is a glass quartz heating element that energizes during this cycle and melts the frost off the coils. This keeps the coils clear so air can flow freely through them to cool the refrigerator. When the heater fails, frost builds up unchecked on the coils over days or weeks — eventually blocking airflow completely and causing both compartments to warm up, even though the compressor is still running.
How do I know if my defrost heater has failed?
Remove the freezer back panel to expose the evaporator coils. If the coils are heavily coated in frost or solid ice — especially if both the freezer and refrigerator sections have been warming up — a failed defrost heater is the most likely cause. You can confirm with a multimeter: disconnect the heater and probe both wire ends. A working heater shows continuity (resistance between approximately 10–200 ohms at room temperature depending on wattage). No continuity confirms the heater element has burned out. Also visually inspect the glass tube — a burned, blackened, or broken tube is a clear sign of failure.
Should I also replace the defrost thermostat and temperature sensor?
Yes — since the freezer must be fully emptied and the back panel removed to replace the heater, it is highly recommended to also replace the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) and temperature sensor (WR55X10025) at the same time. All three components form the defrost system and wear at similar rates. A failed thermostat or sensor can cause the heater to run too long or not at all — replacing all three in a single repair eliminates that risk and saves you from another complete freezer teardown in the near future.
My freezer is warming up but the compressor is running — is it the defrost heater?
It often is — but not always. A compressor that is running but not cooling can be caused by a failed defrost heater (frost blocking airflow), a faulty evaporator fan motor (air not circulating), a defrost thermostat or timer failure, or a sealed system problem (refrigerant leak or compressor issue). The easiest way to distinguish a defrost system failure from other causes is to open the freezer and check whether frost has built up on the back panel or coils. If yes, the defrost heater is the most likely culprit. If the coils are clear and the compressor is running, look at the evaporator fan or sealed system next.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured as a single quartz tube glass heater rated at 120V/725W to match the dimensions and performance of the original WR51X10055 defrost heater assembly.

XPARTCO WR55X10025 Refrigerator Temperature Sensor
The XPARTCO WR55X10025 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Café, and Monogram refrigerators. The temperature sensor monitors air temperature inside the fresh food and freezer compartments and sends that data to the main control board, which uses it to regulate cooling cycles and maintain the correct set temperature. When the sensor fails, the refrigerator may run too warm, too cold, or experience erratic defrost behavior.
This sensor measures approximately 1-1/4 inches long and includes 18-inch wire leads. It is constructed from white plastic and is used in both fresh food and freezer compartments depending on the model — on some models it also functions as a defrost sensor on the evaporator coil. It directly replaces OEM part numbers WR55X10025 and a large number of earlier GE thermistor part numbers. Sold individually — some models require two sensors. Installs in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer

Disconnect the wire connector and pull the old sensor out of its bracket. Slide the new WR55X10025 sensor into the bracket and reconnect the wire connector. To access the freezer or evaporator thermistor, remove the freezer shelves and back panel, then locate the sensor clipped to the evaporator coil bracket. Remove any tie wrap securing the sensor, pull the old sensor from the bracket, insert the new sensor, and reconnect the wire connector. Reinstall the back panel and shelves, restore power, and verify the refrigerator returns to the correct set temperature. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat pry tool (for panel clips), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many temperature sensors does my GE refrigerator have?
The number of sensors varies by model. Many GE French door and side-by-side refrigerators use two or three WR55X10025 sensors — one in the fresh food compartment, one in the freezer, and sometimes one on the evaporator coil. Check your model's parts diagram or contact our support team with your model number to confirm how many you need before ordering.
What is a thermistor and how does it work?
A thermistor is a type of resistor whose electrical resistance changes with temperature. The main control board sends a small voltage through the thermistor and measures the resistance — a higher resistance means a lower temperature, and a lower resistance means a higher temperature. The board uses this reading to decide when to run the compressor and fans to maintain the set temperature. A failed thermistor sends incorrect readings, causing the refrigerator to over-cool, under-cool, or malfunction during defrost cycles.
Can a faulty temperature sensor cause the refrigerator to not defrost?
Yes. On models where the WR55X10025 also serves as the defrost sensor on the evaporator coil, a faulty sensor can cause the control board to incorrectly time or skip defrost cycles entirely — leading to excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils. This frost buildup can eventually block airflow and cause both the refrigerator and freezer sections to warm up.
How do I know if my temperature sensor is the cause of my cooling problem?
The most reliable way to test the thermistor is with a multimeter. Disconnect the sensor and measure its resistance at room temperature — a working WR55X10025 should read approximately 16,000 ohms at 32°F, dropping as temperature increases. An open circuit (infinite resistance) or short circuit (zero resistance) reading confirms the sensor has failed. If resistance is within the normal range but the refrigerator still has issues, the control board or other components may be at fault.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic to match the dimensions and performance specifications of the original WR55X10025 temperature sensor.

WPW10190981 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker
The WPW10190981 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM ice maker assembly for Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and Amana French door refrigerators. This assembly receives water from the refrigerator's water inlet, holds it in the ice mold until it freezes, then uses a heating element to loosen the finished ice from the mold and automatically eject it — a rotating arm pushes the ice into the storage bin, and the cycle repeats until the bin is full.
This is a modular-style assembly, and it does not include a new cover, ice level arm, or wire harness — these three components must be reused from your existing ice maker. If the coating on your current ice maker's mold is flaking off, or if internal components are no longer functioning correctly, replacing the assembly resolves both problems together. It directly replaces W10122533 and W10190981.
Quick Answer
The WPW10190981 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and Amana French door refrigerators that have stopped making ice, are producing less ice than usual, or have a mold with flaking coating. Replaces W10122533, W10190981. This assembly does not include the cover, ice level arm, or wire harness — you must transfer these three components from your old ice maker to the new one during installation.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Ice maker has stopped producing ice entirely
Ice maker producing less ice than it used to
Ice mold coating visibly flaking or deteriorating
Ice maker cycling but not ejecting ice into the bin

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — This Assembly Does Not Include The Cover, Ice Level Arm, Or Wire Harness Disconnect power to the refrigerator, or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance, before beginning. Wear work gloves. Move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Open the freezer door and remove the ice bucket or drawer to access the ice maker. Photograph the wiring harness connection and the position of the cover and ice level arm before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws securing the old ice maker in place, then disconnect the wire harness connector. Before setting the old ice maker aside, remove its cover, ice level arm, and wire harness — none of these three components are included with this replacement assembly, and you'll need to transfer all of them onto the new WPW10190981. Attach the cover, ice level arm, and wire harness from your old ice maker onto the new assembly, making sure each is seated and connected correctly. Mount the new assembly in the same position, reconnect the wire harness connector, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the ice bucket or drawer. Restore power and allow several hours for the first cycle to complete, confirming ice is being produced and ejected normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this ice maker come complete and ready to install?
Not entirely — this assembly does not include a new cover, ice level arm, or wire harness. You'll need to remove these three components from your existing ice maker and transfer them onto this new assembly during installation, since only the ice maker body itself is included.
My ice mold's coating is flaking. Should I replace the whole assembly?
Yes. The mold coating isn't a separately serviceable part — if it's flaking off, replacing the complete ice maker assembly is the correct fix, since a damaged coating can affect ice quality and won't improve on its own.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's considered a moderate repair requiring basic hand tools, some disassembly of the refrigerator, and novice repair experience. The extra step of transferring the cover, ice level arm, and wire harness from your old unit adds a bit more care to the process compared to a fully complete replacement assembly, but it's manageable for a confident DIYer.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original mold design, heating element, and cycling mechanism of the ice maker originally installed in your refrigerator.
