From the Manufacturer This is a Genuine Replacement Part,The Model Number and Name for The Following Item:Electrolux (ELEHI) 242046001 Thermostat, Defrost Review: saved me at least $45 or as much as $1500 - I bought my frigidaire french door fridge used and had problems with the refriferator being a biit too warm. 45-50F. After much troubleshooting, cursing, bleeding, and breaking stuff, I found that the condensor coils were not defrosting. After finding the defrost elements had continuity, I decided the most likely culprit was the thermistor or the control board. Parts supplier wanted $65-$70 for this little piece of metal. I got it, attached it, and it worked like a charm! That first hiss of the unit defrosting was music to my ears. Fridge and freezer temps are now stable and within normal operating perameters. Three different times I was ready to chuck this fridge into the yard and buy a new one. If snyone had been able to ship one to me in less than two weeks, this probably would have gone a much more expensive route. Well done! Review: Great price! Worked perfectly. - Value for money and easy to install while watching a YouTube Video! ## Features - RECOMMENDED USE: Replacement defrost thermostat for refrigerators - GENUINE REPLACEMENT PART: Made specifically to be compatible with various refrigerators from Frigidaire, Electrolux, and more - PART #: 242046001 - COMPATIBILITY: Ensure replacement part is compatible with your home appliance before purchasing - INSTALLATION: Follow installation instructions to ensure proper fit and function of this appliance part; do not force fit into appliance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00LQKZPVW | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #272,833 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #507 in Freezer Parts & Accessories | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (154) | | Date First Available | October 1, 2010 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 0.32 ounces | | Item model number | 242046001 | | Manufacturer | Electrolux | | Part Number | 242046001 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 4 x 1 x 1 inches | | Warranty Description | 30-day returns / 90-day defective returns. | ## Images ![GENUINE Electrolux 242046001 Defrost Thermostat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oUSnjjl0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ saved me at least $45 or as much as $1500 *by D***3 on August 18, 2023* I bought my frigidaire french door fridge used and had problems with the refriferator being a biit too warm. 45-50F.
