Description

This ice box thermistor cover protects and positions the refrigerator/freezer temperature sensor so it accurately monitors compartment temperature. It helps keep the sensor clear of frost and direct contact with food or ice. What it does:

• Shields the thermistor probe from direct contact with ice, frost, or stored items
• Holds the temperature sensor in the correct location for consistent readings
• Helps reduce false temperature readings and related cycling or ice-maker issues
• Supports stable temperature control by protecting the sensor from physical damage

What's included: One ice box thermistor cover. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage.
• Remove access panel or liner as needed to reach the thermistor; retain any screws or clips.
• Install by aligning over the thermistor probe and securing with the existing clip or fastener; handle the sensor probe gently.
