The Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. Also known as a thermistor, is responsible for sensing the temperature changes and providing the necessary feedback to the refrigerator's control board. It helps maintain accurate and consistent temperature levels, ensuring optimal food preservation and efficient cooling.

Causes of a faulty temperature sensor can include wear and tear over time, damage due to electrical issues or exposure to extreme temperatures, or sensor calibration issues. These factors can result in temperature inconsistencies, inaccurate readings, or improper cooling performance of the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor may include:

  • Incorrect temperature readings on the control panel
  • Temperature fluctuations inside the refrigerator
  • Overcooling or inadequate cooling of food items

Answer

Mark, the freezer thermistor 6500JB2002X can be tested directly at the main control to verify if it has failed. With the refrigerator unplugged, the main control can be accessed behind the access panel located above the compressor section. The connection for the freezer thermistor is going to be connection CON7 pin 15 to pin 16. Both wires are blue and white striped. At 5 degrees Fahrenheit, the thermistor should read 17K ohms. At -4 degrees, the resistance should read 23K ohms. Between 23 to 32 degrees, the resistance should read between 10 to 8 K ohms. If the resistance does not match the temperature in the freezer, then the thermistor has failed. If the resistance does match the temperature directly in the freezer, then the main control EBR79267107 has failed.
