What customers say

Customers say they replaced this sensor when ice built up on the evaporator behind the inside back panel. Water dripping into the fresh food section or its drawers was another symptom for several. Many replaced it alongside the defrost thermostat or defrost heater while the evaporator cover was off.

Not consistently cooling.

Researched the possible problems with my Samsung French Door refrig on this web site. Sent in a consultation text and their answer confirmed my research findings. Support even emailed me a Samsung diagnostic document which was also helpful. I ordered and installed a fresh food compartment temp sensor and fan. After watching the repair videos the parts installed with minimal effort. Refrig worked well for 18 hours with the new parts and then the compressor seemed unable to cool. Parts worked well and well below the cost of a service call. Even though the refrig failed it was well worth a try to fix the most probable causes of the cooling issues. I would do it again given the symptoms. Customer support even contacted me to inquire about my results. Good folks.

The evaporator core in the refrigerator was froze up

I ordered the Heater, the Thermo Bimetal-Protec and the Temp Sensor. I didn't know what all was bad, but I had thawed it out about a month ago thinking it just needed defrosting and wanted to have everything I might need this time because it takes forever to thaw out (12-24 hrs) and to be able to remove the back cover without breaking the styrofoam as it gets frozen to the evaporator. I had chatted online with an advisor who told me how to check each of the 3 components with a multimeter. I determined the temp sensor was still good so I kept it for a spare and changed out the heater and the thermo bimetal-protec. My refrigerator had a thermal fuse that the thermo bimetal-protec replaced as an upgrade. It all seems to be working fine now. I had one piece in 2 days and the other 2 in 3 days using their cheapest shipping option and am extremely satisfied with Appliance Parts Pros in every way.
