Birdie2 November 05, 2015 for Model Number 79579783902 Re: Sears Kenmore "Refrigerator Sensor" P/N 6500JB2001B Where is the part located on this Kenmore Elite Bottom Mount Refrigerator? How do you access the part in order to change it? Please also provide instructions. Thank you.
1 Answer Birdie, It appears that this sensor will be located in the top section most likely on the ceiling of the unit under a small cover. Pry the cover off and pull the sensor down. Once down you will need to cut out the old sensor and splice in the new sensor. Read More...
Jcw August 17, 2015 for Model Number 795.71023010 Where is the thermistor located on this refrigerator?
1 Answer Hello JCW. Look for the cover 3550JA2247A inside the cabinet and you unsnap it from the wall to locate the thermistor in the unit. Read More...
Jason June 04, 2015 for Model Number 795.71063011 KENMORE ELITE 795.71063011 Freezer section properly freezing but there's a lot of frost Fridge section not quite cold enough all three fans are running (two in freezer section one in fridge) when the fridge starts there is a knocking or clicking noise for a few seconds that I can not locate it's is not from the fans or the compressor, not sure if this has anything to do with the temp issue? Is there a damper door on this model that could be sticking ? I can not locate one! or is it the sensor that's my problem?
1 Answer Hello Jason. The knocking noise is most likely a fan hitting ice. You will need to determine which part is bad by testing them with a meter. Make sure the heater and sensors are good. If so, that leaves the main board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Brokefridge April 23, 2014 for Model Number 79577563600 The refrigerator temp in both freezer and refrigerator is going haywire. We replaced the control board and didn't help a lick. How do u replace the temp sensors? They don't have a quick connect. How do u pull the wires to replace it? Do u just cut and splice the wires? Is this the right fix?
1 Answer Brokefridge, With the units temps going haywire and the unit having a new control board, the issue does sound like it could be caused by the sensor. To replace the sensor you would cut and splice the wires. The best type of connection to use would be a bell connector and once you clamp it use a silicone to seal inside the bell connector to keep from getting moisture at the connection. Read More...
Ken V March 01, 2013 for Model Number LFX23965ST My LG fridge is freezing everything in my fridge and I have it set for the highest setting of 6 Degrees F. Usually the Sensor for temp?
1 Answer Ken, There should be a damper behind the cover in the back of the refrigerator section. You will want to check to make sure that this damper is not stuck open. If stuck open it will need to be replaced. You would also want to check the thermistors to see if they are reading within proper resistance range. If they are then they are good. The resistance range would be at -4 degrees 77K ohms, at 23 degrees F 38.4K ohms, at 32 degrees F 30K ohms, and at 41 degrees F 24.1K ohms. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Paul December 20, 2012 for Model Number 795.58813.900 Do the thermistors have a specific range of ohms,,,or just open or closed,,,,i know how to use a multimeter...
Paul December 20, 2012 for Model Number 795.58813.900 Compressor does not run,everything checks out no power to compressor ......Will a bad sensor cause the mother board to not let power to the compressor or a bad mother board????
1 Answer Hello Paul. Yes, a sensor can, but usually in a case like this it leads to the main PCB 6871JB1410P on the unit. You can test the thermistors on the unit and if they are good, replace the board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Joe August 11, 2011 for Model Number 795 Does this sensor control the open door beeper? My refer beeps with both doors closed.
1 Answer Joe, The sensor could be your problem, but, your first check should be at the compartment door switches and wiring " ? Since door switches (A) and (B) are interconnected, if either fails, the other will not respond properly. ? If either switch fails, the light will not come on." Or the control board. Those are the more likely issues for your complaint, Had you supplied us with a proper model number, we could have been a bit more positive. Good Luck and Thnks. Read More...
