Description

This clip thermistor is a temperature sensor that mounts to the evaporator coil to monitor refrigerator temperatures and help the control regulate cooling and defrost cycles. Replaces a worn or failed clip-mounted thermistor to restore accurate temperature sensing. What it does:

• Detects evaporator coil temperature so the control can manage cooling and defrost timing
• Helps correct symptoms like inconsistent compartment temperature or inadequate cooling
• Can resolve defrost-cycle issues caused by incorrect temperature readings
• Works as the sensing input the control uses to prevent short-cycling or extended run times

What's included: One clip thermistor Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the thermistor
• Clip the sensor firmly to the evaporator coil per the manufacturer's routing; avoid loose mounting
• Route and secure wiring away from moving parts and sharp edges to prevent chafing
