This thermistor is the refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature and helps the control board regulate cooling for safe food storage. It replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature readings and normal cycling. What it does:

• Senses refrigerator/freezer air temperature so the control board can adjust compressor and fan operation
• Can cause improper cooling or erratic cycling when faulty (too warm, too cold, or constant running)
• Helps the appliance respond correctly to user temperature settings and defrost cycles
• Works as part of the temperature control system; not a standalone control module

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the sensor tip and wiring gently; avoid kinking or damaging the harness.
• Verify correct connector alignment and secure fit to the harness; test operation after installation.
