Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Temperature Sensor by Ge

Teresa, There really is not much difference with the change out of the thermistor between a bottom freezer and a side by side. The big difference is how to access the parts. To access the sensor you would need to remove the door from the unit and the baskets. The door is normally held in by 2 screws, one on each side, on the rail, lift the drawer out and remove the baskets in the unit. If the sensor is behind the rear wall then remove the rear wall and sensor will be accessible.
