Description

This evaporator temperature sensor monitors the refrigerator evaporator temperature so the control board can manage defrost cycles and cooling. Replacing a faulty sensor restores accurate temperature readings and helps prevent overcooling or ice buildup. What it does:

• Senses evaporator temperature and sends a resistance/voltage signal to the control board
• Helps the control decide when to run defrost and compressor cycles
• Commonly causes long run times, warm temperatures, or frequent frosting when failing
• Used in the fridge/freezer cooling system rather than user temperature knobs

What's included:

• One evaporator temperature sensor

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the thermistor element and wiring gently; do not kink or cut leads
• Locate and remove mounting clips or screws; match connector orientation when reinstalling
