This thermistor is a temperature-sensing component that monitors conditions inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment. It sends temperature readings to the main control board, which uses that data to regulate the compressor and defrost cycles. Replace this part if your refrigerator is running too warm, too cold, or cycling erratically despite correct thermostat settings.

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 bi-metal defrost thermostat monitors the evaporator temperature and signals the defrost heater to turn on or off during the defrost cycle. It acts as a safety device to prevent the evaporator from overheating. Replace this part if your refrigerator is building up excessive frost on the back wall, not cooling properly, or running constantly due to a failed defrost cycle.

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

This thermistor is a temperature sensor that mounts on or near the evaporator coils and monitors the evaporator temperature. It sends readings to the control board so the defrost cycle and compressor operation are properly regulated. Replace this part if your refrigerator is running too warm, too cold, experiencing excessive frost buildup on the evaporator, or cycling irregularly.
