Description

This thermistor cover is the protective housing that shields the refrigerator's temperature sensor from drafts and moisture, helping the sensor read air temperature more reliably for steadier cooling control. What it does

• Protects the thermistor/sensor from direct air drafts, moisture, and physical contact
• Helps the sensor register ambient temperature more consistently for accurate cycling
• Can reduce temperature swings or short-cycling caused by exposed sensor readings
• Useful when sensor readings are erratic, interior temperature seems inconsistent, or starts/stops feel abnormal

What's included One thermistor cover Install notes

• Unplug the appliance or shut power to the circuit before servicing
• Remove only the interior paneling or trim necessary to access the sensor; keep fasteners organized
• Handle the thermistor/sensor carefully — avoid pulling on wiring or applying pressure to the sensor element
• If the cover is clipped in place, ensure proper alignment and secure fit; do not force or glue parts unless specified by the manufacturer
