working so far (6 months in...)
I was a little hesitant ordering this knowing that it wasn't a GE-manufactured part. However, it seems to be constructed nearly identically, and the dual-element design (over the original single-element) seems to be more effective during the defrost cycle. I watched a youtube video (search for 'Refrigerator Defrost Heater GE WR51X10101' on youtube) in order to verify my install. It was pretty straightforward, and indeed the dual-element heater fits with no problems in place of the single-element heater. So far, so good. I'll update my review in case of early failure.
not what I expected or wanted / needed
I thought that this went well with the WR51x10101 -- but it is really not helpful. Maybe a good part for a repairman - but not helpful for a home owner.
Simple to replace do it yourself
No problem. Went right in and works.
Thawed the ice out with a hair dryer, rerouted the wire to right side and plugged it in.
