This temperature sensor is the thermistor that monitors compartment temperature and reports it to the control. Replacing a failed sensor helps restore accurate cooling and steady, reliable temperatures in your refrigerator.

• Detects refrigerator or freezer air temperature and sends a resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control regulate compressor, evaporator fan, and air damper operation
• Also called a thermistor; critical for maintaining stable, set-point temperatures
• Failure symptoms can include sections that are too warm or too cold, erratic temperature swings, or frequent cycling

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Access location varies by model (often behind an interior cover or air duct); note routing and placement before removal
• Reinstall in the original position and route wiring in the factory path; ensure the connector is fully seated
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This lamp reflector mounts behind the refrigerator light to direct and spread illumination throughout the compartment. Replacing a cracked, melted, or missing reflector helps restore bright, even lighting so you can clearly see food and shelves. What it does

• Sits behind the interior lamp to reflect light forward into the compartment
• Helps maintain even, consistent illumination and reduces shadows
• Typical symptoms: dim or uneven lighting with a good bulb, yellowed/melted reflector, cracked or missing reflector
• Supports proper visibility around shelves and bins

• 1 lamp reflector

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Remove the light lens/cover and bulb to access the reflector
• Reuse existing screws or clips as applicable
• Do not overtighten fasteners; reinstall bulb and lens, restore power, and test

• Inspect surrounding seals, clamps and mounting points; replace any damaged hardware for a secure fit
• Use basic hand tools; avoid sharp bends or kinks in the duct to maintain airflow

Main control board assembly that manages power distribution and electronic controls for the appliance, helping restore normal operation. Replacing a failed board can fix unresponsive controls, random cycles, error codes, or machines that won't start. What it does:

• Routes power and control signals to motors, valves, heaters and user interface components to coordinate appliance functions.
• A failed board can cause the unit to be dead, have unresponsive or erratic controls, or start/stop mid-cycle.
• Use diagnostics to confirm the board is at fault before replacing; mechanical or sensor failures can produce similar symptoms.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any work.
• Handle the board by the edges and use anti-static precautions to avoid damaging electronic components.
• Photograph or label each connector and wire before removal for accurate reassembly.
