Customer Questions and Answers for Temperature Sensor (Thermistor Assembly) by Ge

This temperature sensor monitors internal refrigerator temperatures and relays them to the control, helping the unit maintain consistent cooling. Replacing a failed sensor restores accurate temperature regulation and more reliable operation. What it does:

• Measures compartment or evaporator temperature and sends a resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control modulate compressor and fan run times for proper cooling
• Typical failure signs: sections too warm or too cold, erratic temperatures, or running longer than normal
• Causes inaccurate temperature readings compared to setpoints

• 1 temperature sensor assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the sensor in the affected section; release any cover/clip and unplug the connector
• Route the new sensor's wiring like the original and ensure it's fully seated in its holder or clip
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize
