Description

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that provides accurate temperature feedback to the control board so the appliance can maintain stable cooling and proper defrost cycles. Replaces a failed or out-of-spec sensor to restore reliable temperature readings. What it does:

• Monitors evaporator/compartment temperature and reports readings to the control board
• Helps control cooling and defrost timing when the sensor reads correctly
• A failing sensor can cause warm or fluctuating temperatures, long run times, or incorrect defrost behavior
• Used when diagnostics show temperature-sensing errors or inconsistent temperature control

What's included:

• One thermistor temperature sensor

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before installing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the sensor and connector carefully; avoid pulling wires or kinking the harness
• Verify sensor location and routing match the original before securing; some models mount near the evaporator or inside the fresh-food compartment
