Description

This temperature sensor (thermistor) senses cabinet/evaporator temperature so the control can maintain proper cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature readings and stable refrigerator operation. What it does:

• Measures internal temperature and sends readings to the control board
• Helps control compressor and fan cycling for consistent cooling
• Commonly associated with refrigerators that run continuously, cool inconsistently, or show incorrect temperature
• Can affect defrost cycles if the evaporator reading is incorrect

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

• Disconnect power before accessing components to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the sensor and lead carefully; avoid kinking or sharp bends in the wire
• Ensure the connector is fully seated and any mounting clip is snug but not overtightened
• Some models require removing interior panels or the evaporator cover for access
