The Magnet Switch is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It plays an important role in monitoring the position of the refrigerator door. 

The magnet switch works together with a magnet installed in the door gasket to detect when the door is opened or closed. It communicates this information to the control board which uses it to manage temperatures and fan speeds accordingly. 

Causes of a bad magnet switch can include wear and tear over time, physical damage, or failure of internal components. 

Symptoms of a bad magnet switch include:

• Improper cooling and freezing performances 
• Inability to detect when the door is opened
• Erratic temperature fluctuations
• Errors codes relating to door sensors

This genuine OEM LG magnet switch restores the door monitoring functions of your refrigerator. It is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Thermistor Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. As a key component, it plays an integral role in monitoring and regulating interior temperatures. Consisting of a thermistor sensor and connection wire harness, it communicates real-time temperature readings to the control board. 

Symptoms of a bad thermistor assembly can include failure to properly detect temperature changes, causing inaccurate interior conditions, or affecting automatic defrost cycles. Breaks or shorts in the wiring can interrupt readings.

Causes of failure include general wear over time, damage from moisture exposure, or loose connections inhibiting communication. Thermistors may also fail prematurely in high-humidity environments.

Symptoms of a bad thermistor assembly include: 

• Inability to maintain set interior temperatures
• Frost or ice buildup inside with poor defrosting  
• Refrigerator failing to cool or cooling excessively
• Control panels displaying error codes relating to sensors

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
