Customer Questions and Answers for Temperature Sensor by Ge

Best Seller
Manufacturer Part
4.89 (64)
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)

Vineyridge for Model Number PTS25LHSARWW

I believe that I need to replace the temperature sensors and maybe the fans in this 1990s refrigerator. The freezer will cool to -7 degrees when it is set to -1; the refrigerator will go as low as 36 and as high as 38, both per the temperature set panel in the refrigerator section. The evaporator fan can make terrible noises, but that is caused by ice. If the freezer is packed too full or if the door doesn't make a good seal, the evaporator fan can be heard two rooms away from the kitchen. When I clean out the freezer and put a hair dryer against the back wall and the bottom vents, the noise goes away. I have replaced both door gaskets in the past four months, and both seem to be sealing well unless there is food preventing a full door closure. My question is simply, how do I remove the covers on the walls of this unit? There are some screws on the back wall, but the ice maker, which has never been used will have to come out. There is also a plastic "tower" on the back wall which attaches to a plastic cover on the roof of the freezer which contains the light but covers other things as well. The freezer sensor is under a plastic cover on the right side of the freezer and is supposed to have a screw, but I haven't been able to find it. Can you give me some instructions on how to access the evaporator fan and the freezer sensor in this GE Profile model?

1 Answer

Vineyridge, The first thing is remove the icemaker, then remove the light lens and screws under the lens and drop the cover down. Then remove the tower in the back of the unit and the screws from the back wall. Once they are removed you will be able to remove the rear wall of the freezer. The biggest thing with this problem is overloading the freezer. You will want to make sure that the freezer is not being overloaded and causing the door to be pushed open.

Jose for Model Number GSS25TGPACC

the fridge stop working after a period of freezing both sides. The inside light turns on when plugged but compressor no sound. The lights to control the temperature number are off when plugged. There was a time the right side of the refrigerator started to get colder that I had to lower the control numbers numbers to a point that the right side froze the food. So, I set numbers to zero. then after few weeks quit working and do not know what to do . Please Help thanks

Jose, Based on the information, this will most likely be a faulty main control board that is causing this issue.

Steven for Model Number GDS20SBSBSS

Hi, I have a GE GDS20SBSBSS probably from 2006. The fridge and freezer are not cooling and are both warm. Seems like the fans and condenser are working?? I would like to replace the temperature sensors, where are they and how do I remove them, they seem to be under a cover on the top of the fridge and on the right side of the freezer but they are behind the panels of the fridge and no obvious way to remove them...any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

1 Answer

Steven, If the compressor and fans are running then this will be a sealed system issue and will require service to repair it. If the compressor is not running then the start device would be the most likely cause.

Tim, the temperature sensor WR55X10025 would be used with the model provided and the print referenced is a production number and would not be used as a part identifier.

Sara, there is a repair video on the defrost heater WR51X10131 page that can be used as a reference for accessing where the defrost drain starts. This can get clogged up by dust in the compressor section behind the appliance and it would need to be cleared using hot tap water. The tap water can be applied through the evaporator drip pan with a turkey baster to reduce the mess that the water will cause. Once the center hole is reached, it would need to be cleared until the water drains down without a delay.

Craig, There will be a cover that has slots in it on the side walls or the ceiling, this will be where the sensor is and you would just pop that cover off.
