Description

This evaporator temperature sensor is a thermistor-style sensor that monitors the evaporator coil temperature so the control board can manage defrost cycles and cooling. It helps restore proper temperature sensing for reliable refrigeration performance. What it does:

• Senses evaporator coil temperature and sends a signal to the control board
• Helps the fridge enter and exit defrost cycles at the correct times
• Can cause cooling issues or long/short defrost cycles when failing
• Common symptom linkage: refrigerator not cooling properly, excessive frost build-up, or erratic temperature readings

What's included:

• One evaporator temperature sensor (thermistor)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on the wires
• Route and secure the sensor in the same location as the original for accurate readings
