The Temperature Sensor (10K NTC) is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This sensor monitors the internal temperature of the refrigerator or freezer compartment, sending signals to the control board to regulate cooling cycles. It ensures the appliance maintains the correct temperature for optimal food preservation.
Temperature sensors can fail due to wear over time, electrical issues, or exposure to moisture. A malfunctioning sensor can cause inaccurate temperature readings, leading to improper cooling or freezing.
Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor include:
- Fluctuating or incorrect temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
- Food spoiling faster than expected or freezing inappropriately
- Error codes related to temperature regulation
- The refrigerator running continuously or cycling too often
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
