General Electric Refrigerator GSL22JGBBLB Fridge too cold

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. 

The Defrost Heater Kit is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to prevent frost and ice buildup within the freezer compartment by heating up at regular intervals to melt away any accumulated frost. For 12-inch glass tube heater use WR51X10055.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater Kit include:

• Buildup of frost or ice on the freezer walls or around the evaporator coils.
• The refrigerator or freezer section becoming too warm due to blocked air vents by ice.
• Frequent cycling or longer running times of the refrigerator compressor.

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include failure of the heating element due to wear or a burnt-out component, malfunctioning sensors that regulate the defrost cycle, or electrical issues preventing the heater from activating.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
