The thermostat assembly did the job, but it feels a bit flimsy compared to the original part. Works fine so far, but could be sturdier.

Not the best, but it works. Could be better in some aspects.

I've always been a fan of Whirlpool's refrigerators and this one did not disappoint. Lots of space and the ice maker is a nice touch. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new fridge.
