This mechanical temperature control thermostat replaces the factory temperature sensing switch to restore proper refrigerator temperature regulation. It helps the appliance maintain set temperatures for safe food storage and normal cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the cooling circuit to regulate compressor run time.
• Commonly used when the refrigerator runs constantly or cycles too quickly.
• Works as the user-adjustable temperature control for manual-style refrigerator controls.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the sensing bulb/capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Verify correct placement of the sensing bulb in the evaporator/probe clip per OEM location.

This is a thermistor-style temperature sensor that monitors the internal temperature of the refrigerator compartment. It sends temperature readings to the main control board, which uses that data to regulate the compressor and defrost cycles. Replace this sensor if the refrigerator is running too cold, too warm, or cycling erratically despite correct thermostat settings.

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. Also known as a thermistor, is responsible for sensing the temperature changes and providing the necessary feedback to the refrigerator's control board. It helps maintain accurate and consistent temperature levels, ensuring optimal food preservation and efficient cooling.

Causes of a faulty temperature sensor can include wear and tear over time, damage due to electrical issues or exposure to extreme temperatures, or sensor calibration issues. These factors can result in temperature inconsistencies, inaccurate readings, or improper cooling performance of the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor may include:

• Incorrect temperature readings on the control panel
• Temperature fluctuations inside the refrigerator
• Overcooling or inadequate cooling of food items

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

Fix ice buildup on evaporator coils or freezer not defrosting properly. This defrost thermostat monitors temperature to prevent frost. 2-hour repair.

Fix frost buildup and poor cooling in your refrigerator. This defrost thermostat prevents ice accumulation on the evaporator. Moderate DIY repair.

This is a thermostat that monitors the temperature in the ice maker to signal when ice has fully frozen and is ready to be harvested. It acts as a thermal cutoff device to regulate the ice-making cycle. Replace this thermostat if the ice maker stops producing ice, runs continuously without cycling, or fails to eject ice at the proper time.

This temperature sensor (thermistor) detects internal appliance temperature and sends readings to the control board so the unit maintains proper cooling. Replacing a failing sensor restores accurate temperature monitoring and helps prevent spoilage. What it does:

• Measures internal temperature and provides a resistance-based signal to the control board
• Helps the control system regulate compressor and defrost cycles
• Commonly causes warm or fluctuating temperatures, prolonged cooling, or temperature-related error codes when failing
• Works as a direct-sensing temperature input — not a user control or switch

• One temperature sensor/thermistor (single part as shown)

• Unplug the appliance or switch off power at the breaker before servicing
• Handle the sensor and its thin leads carefully to avoid damage during removal and installation
• Route and secure wiring so it does not contact moving parts or sharp edges
