Identical to the assembly I pulled out of my 1995 model year GE Profile TFX22PRXAAA -- wiring harness, heaters, thermostat, and 3-prong connector. Hole centers for the heater tube frames were a perfect match. The heaters in this assembly, as opposed to the WR51X443, have an overall length of about 9 1/2" -- smaller so they can fit in the narrower 22 cu ft side by side fridge. I was also able to confirm the part # when I looked at the "Technical Data" sheet fastened right behind the middle of the fridge's kick panel. Under "Replacement Parts", the WR51X442 was listed for "Defrost Heaters & Harness." BTW, before ordering--if you're willing to remove the back panel from the freezer compartment--you can do a quick test on your existing heater by separating the connector halves, and testing continuity on the two pins with the larger diameter pink & blue wires. If open circuit, you KNOW that this part needs to be replaced. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by J***H on March 2, 2018* A perfect fit. Nothing to dislike. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install *by Y***A on October 27, 2019* With the lack in of reliability new computer ran refrigerators have I chose to DIY the heater defrosters. Watched a YouTube video also ordered a long handle magnetic screwdriver ( a must have ) and fixed my refrigerator unit within 30 minutes. Still working 5 months post install. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/23934944-dpd-wr51x442-refrigerator-defrost-heater-and-thermostat-kit-for-ge](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/23934944-dpd-wr51x442-refrigerator-defrost-heater-and-thermostat-kit-for-ge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
