Description

This packing thermistor is a temperature sensor that mounts in the refrigerator/freezer door gasket to help the appliance monitor temperatures near the door seal for more accurate temperature control and efficient cooling. What it does:

• Senses temperature at the door gasket so the control board can adjust cooling and defrost cycles
• Helps prevent false warm readings caused by door-area drafts or melting frost
• Common symptoms when failing: inconsistent fridge/freezer temperatures, longer run cycles, or temperature-related error codes
• Works as the sensor input for system diagnostics and control logic

What's included:

• One packing thermistor sensor

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before replacing any parts
• Handle the sensor and its wiring gently to avoid damaging the lead or connector
• Route and secure the lead so it isn't pinched by the gasket when reinstalling the door
