GE WR51X10101 - Defrost Heater and Bracket Assembly for Refrigerator

I received single element unit WR51X10053 not the WR51X10101 double element unit shown in the picture. I have a 20 year old Kenmore side by side refrigerator that burns out the single element defrost unit every couple of years. After replacing three of them I read that there was a double element replacement unit that would last longer, the WR51X10101 so I ordered it from this vendor. Unfortunately even though this listing shows the double element unit, the old single element was sent. Vendor will accept return but I have to pay for return shipping. The unit installs easily, unplug refrigerator from power, remove the inside back cover of the freezer, use a heat gun or hair drier to melt the ice, find the old burnt out unit, replace it and if after a week your refrigerator hasn't frozen over then the new part is working. Wait a couple of years and repeat, or find a vendor that actually ships what they advertise.

The item sent to me was not what was described or pictured above. Item was cheap and did not fit my refrigerator even though it was the item number was correct.

I had to remove and flip the heaters for the connector to align for the french door freezer plugs. Otherwise, it works perfectly and fast shipping.

worked great. solved the problem

work perfectly easy to install

Helped fix our refrigerator.

Buying this part and changing it myself was a breeze!! Way cheaper than paying the $250 I was quoted by the repairman.
