Fridge not cooling but freezer works? This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature to prevent frost buildup. Tests closed when cold with multimeter.

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.

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. 

Freezer not cold enough or stuck in defrost mode? This defrost thermostat regulates defrost cycles to prevent ice buildup and maintain proper cooling.

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

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
