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)

1 Answer

Jeff, There should be a sensor located in the refrigerator under a cover on the side wall and the one in the freezer will be on the back wall.

John, Thanks for the question!!! The evaporator sensor would not affect the fridge temp without affecting the freezer. The is a temp sensor for the fridge compartment. It should be located on the side wall of the fridge compartment, under a little football-shaped grill cover. This is the most likely issue as it tells the damper when to open and close.

Charles, Thanks for the question!!! Sounds like a possible airflow or defrost issue (which is still airflow). Here is a video that should help with troubleshooting: https://youtu.be/fFNi50tdeto

Chuck, This unit has a sensor on the evaporator coil. This sensor would be the most common reason for the unit to stay in defrost too long and if the sensor does not correct the issue then the control board would be the issue. The sensor is part number {AP3185407].

Jim, it is possible a reboot could help but not very likely. Here is a link for some troubleshooting videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKhohqC7zc-SsDVtlgN2XNbvIMZKpuQ4b

Ricky for Model Number GSH25JFRFWW

I have to put both temperature knobs on 9, the highest setting, in order to keep the temperature at the optimal settings. The freezer is 0 degrees F and the refrigerator is 40 degrees F. Adjustments can be made independently and will affect the temperature for each side. Is this normal or should the temperature be able to go lower? Currently it is at its max cold settings. Will changing the temperature sensor(s) increase the cooling range? My other refrigerator will maintain these temperatures while set at the #6 control setting. I have thoroughly cleaned the inside, out and underneath, so dust and crud are not the issue. It is like the sensor(s) are not in sync with the thermostat dials. What are your thoughts on this problem?

1 Answer

Ricky, Based on the information provided I would suggest checking the sensors for the resistance value using a multimeter. The correct resistance rating is listed in the tech sheet supplied with your machine.

Bart, You will need to clear out any ice in the drain trough and floor and then flush the drain with hot water to clear the drain line.

Hello Poppa, If you look at the frost pattern I'm sure you will not have an even frost pattern on the evaporator coils. I'm sorry but this issue sounds like you need to contact a Freon certified technician to diagnose and correct a sealed system issue.
