Customer Questions and Answers for Temperature Sensor by Ge

Best Seller
Manufacturer Part

By: Ge
Part Number: OEM9556230
Manufacturer Part Number: WR55X10025

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators, designed to accurately monitor and relay the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments to the electronic control board. By detecting the slightest changes in internal temperature, the sensor allows the control board to make real-time adjustments to the cooling system, activating the compressor and fans as needed to maintain optimal conditions for food preservation.

Over time, the temperature sensor can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or general wear and tear. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to improper temperature regulation, affecting the efficiency of the refrigerator and the freshness of stored food.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Sensor include:

  • The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperature 
  • The appliance running continuously or more frequently than normal
  • Inaccurate temperature readings displayed  

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

Questions & Answers

For Ge Temperature Sensor (Part Number: OEM9556230)

1 Answer

Jose, You will want to check the damper assembly to make sure that the damper is not broken. If it is then you will need to replace part number WR49X10091.

Karen, There should be 1 thermistor in the refrigerator compartment and would most likely be on the top under a oblong slotted cover.

Lee, If the freezer side is showing -47 it would be recommended to replace the sensor WR55X10025 located at the bottom of the freezer compartment at the back.

Hello, the sensor in question would require a board to function properly and would not be considered universal. Your unit uses thermostat part number WR50X10104 to control the temperature. Hope this helps!

Ronnie, With this issue, you will want to check the evaporator coils to see if there is a good frost pattern. Check to see if the frost pattern is a full even frost pattern from top to bottom. If the frost is only on part of the evaporator coils then this will be a sealed system issue and would need to have service. The temp sensors would most likely not be the issue.

Hello, last year GE replaced the compressor. I also replaced the inverter that i got from your company. A few days ago my milk went bad, I didn't think nothing of it since everything else in the fridge was cold but, a few days later I see the temperature of the freezer and the fridge were high and I put them to recommended temperatures and they would not stay at the numbers I pressed on. The fridge part is now at 55 the freezer is at 12 but, the freezer side is working and cold, nothing has defrosted so I don't get it. I hear the fan in the fridge when I close the door or press the door button as if to close the door but, I'm not feeling any cold come from the Lil vent from the freezer side that is on the left side of fridge panel. I feel a Lil cold from the back of the interior wall where there is a bracket but it's not getting cold like it should. What can it be? I have a GE monogram zfsd25dxcss thank you

Gladys, This issue would most likely be caused by either a thermistor that is faulty which the thermistor can be tested for resistance of 5K ohms at room temp. If the resistance is good then the control board or the damper assembly would be faulty.

Jerry, Yes the thermistor located on the freezer evaporator coil can cause the unit to go into defrost and stay in defrost too long causing the unit to completely defrost and then recycle back on.

Hello Tita, The critical charge of Freon is shown on the units' I.D. tag. 6 to 10 oz. of Freon is way too much Freon and the compressor is most likely damaged from the improper charge. You will need to contact a Freon certified technician to correct the problems with the sealed system and diagnose the initial cause of the issue.
