Direct replacement OEM part. Part failure can be verified with continuity test. Photos attached show part location. Replacement is a simple job, but be sure to defrost and dry freezer interior prior to putting back in service. A portable fan works well for this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly the part I needed to repair my GE Profile!
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2021
Just what I needed to repair my GE Profile fridge! Fairly easy fix. Symptoms were fridge running, but freezer and fridge can’t get cool. Outer cover in freezer had frost build up all over it. Just be sure you put the metal cover on after replacing heater. After I replaced part and defrosted ice, I expected fridge to cool, but I didn’t put cover back on in case I needed to get in there again. But the air needs to be pulled through the coils with the cover on to work efficiently. At least that’s what I think. Anyway, it’s been >1 month, fridge works fine! Thanks amazon!
