Customer Questions and Answers for Temperature Sensor by Ge

4.89 (64)
By: Ge
Part Number: OEM9556230
Manufacturer Part Number: WR55X10025

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators, designed to accurately monitor and relay the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments to the electronic control board. By detecting the slightest changes in internal temperature, the sensor allows the control board to make real-time adjustments to the cooling system, activating the compressor and fans as needed to maintain optimal conditions for food preservation.

Over time, the temperature sensor can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or general wear and tear. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to improper temperature regulation, affecting the efficiency of the refrigerator and the freshness of stored food.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Sensor include:

  • The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperature 
  • The appliance running continuously or more frequently than normal
  • Inaccurate temperature readings displayed  

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

John Z for Model Number PSC23MGPCWW

My refrigerator shut down the compressor is not running. the temperture control digital buttons are off but the lights are on in the refrigerator and freezer. I turned off the power for 3 minutes and reconnected the power cord and that worked for about 24 hours then the conpressor and ice maker turned off but inside lights stay on. I tried to turn off the breaker waited 30 minutes but this time the refrigerator did not turn on. I saw your video about replacing the temperture thermostat control switch and wanted to know if that should solve the problem. Not the Motherboard for the (digital temp control setting buttons) which is what a repair tech said he thinks is the problem from his experience with this issue. I only spoke with him on the phone and he said he would come to my home to fix it in about 20 minutes tops. I did not see any Motherboards listed on your Parts list and feel like this guy is trying scam me. Thank you for your expert advice. John Zale

Answer

John Z, Based on the information provided this does sound as if there is a problem with a control board and the main control board does affect both the compressor and the lights. Using the tech sheet supplied with the refrigerator and a multimeter you could check for power out to the compressor when it should be running and you can check the resistance of the temperature thermistors to determine the cause of the issue. The main board for this model is our part number WR55X10942C
