Description

This evaporator cover assembly protects the freezer evaporator and includes the temperature-sensing thermistor to help the control monitor and regulate freezer temperatures. Restores proper airflow and sensing when the original cover or thermistor fails. What it does:

• Shields the evaporator coils from damage and helps direct airflow through the freezer compartment.
• Houses the thermistor that provides temperature feedback to the control for accurate cooling cycles.
• Can reduce abnormal frost buildup or long-run cooling if a damaged cover or faulty thermistor was causing incorrect sensor readings.
• Commonly replaced when you see excessive ice on the evaporator, inconsistent freezer temperatures, or control error codes linked to temperature sensing.

What's included:

• One evaporator cover assembly with attached thermistor.

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the thermistor and connector carefully; avoid bending or pinching sensor leads.
• Verify proper routing and secure attachment so the cover directs airflow as intended.
• Inspect surrounding seals and fasteners and replace any damaged hardware for a complete repair.
