Wfmc5301ud/16 Parts

This temperature sensor (thermistor) measures internal temperature and sends readings to the appliance control to help maintain proper operation and cycles. It replaces a failed sensor so the control can accurately monitor temperature. What it does:

• Senses temperature and provides a variable resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the appliance regulate cooling/heating cycles and defrost timing
• Commonly associated with incorrect temperature, improper cycling, or temperature-related error codes
• Used wherever precise temperature feedback is required by the control system

• One temperature sensor (thermistor) with attached lead/harness as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the sensor
• Handle sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on the lead or bending the sensing element
• Reconnect connectors fully and route the harness away from moving parts or high-heat areas
