Description

• Senses fresh-air or cabinet temperature and reports values to the control board
• Helps the refrigerator regulate compressor and damper activity for stable temps
• A failed sensor can cause warm or fluctuating temperatures, excessive run time, or incorrect diagnostics
• Works as a direct replacement part for systems that use this style of thermistor input

What's included: One ambient temperature sensor (thermistor) Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness gently; avoid bending or stressing the element
