Assy-Case Sensor Parts

Refrigerator not cooling or freezer has frost buildup? This defrost thermostat controls defrost cycles. Common DIY fix, typically takes 1 hour.

Fix dishwasher not heating or running for hours. This NTC temperature sensor monitors water temp and prevents overheating. Moderate DIY repair with video.

If your dryer takes too long to dry or overheats, the cycling thermostat may have failed. This part regulates heat by cycling on and off. Easy DIY fix.

Fix frost buildup and warm fresh food section with this clip-on defrost thermostat. Restores automatic defrost cycles. Moderate DIY repair.

This meat probe sensor is a temperature-sensing device that inserts into food while it cooks in the oven, allowing the oven to monitor the internal temperature and automatically stop cooking when the target temperature is reached. It connects to a jack inside the oven cavity via a heat-resistant cable. Replace this probe if your oven no longer reads the food temperature accurately, displays a probe error code, or if the cable or tip is visibly damaged.

This dishwasher turbidity sensor measures how dirty the wash water is and reports to the control. Replacing a faulty sensor can restore proper cycle times and cleaning performance for consistent results.

• Monitors water clarity/soil level during the wash
• Sends feedback to the control to adjust cycle length, rinses, and heating
• Failure can cause very long or very short cycles
• Can trigger sensor-related fault indications

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off water before servicing
• Access the sensor from the bottom near the sump; remove the toe panel if needed
• Unplug the wire harness; release the locking tabs or twist-lock to remove; avoid touching the optical window
• Inspect and reuse the existing seal/retainer if in good condition; seat fully and check for leaks after reassembly

This replacement moisture sensor bar mounts inside the drum and helps the dryer detect when laundry is dry. A worn or damaged bar can cause sensor-dry cycles to end too soon or run too long.

• Senses moisture on fabrics and signals the control to advance or extend auto-dry cycles
• Helps stop the cycle when clothes reach the selected dryness level
• Symptoms can include auto-dry cycles ending early, extended run times, or inconsistent dryness
• Build-up on the bars can also affect sensing performance

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas supply for gas dryers
• Access the sensor at the front bulkhead/lint housing; move wire leads to the new bar and secure with existing hardware
• Clean any residue from both sensor bars to improve accuracy
• Reassemble and test with a small damp load on a sensor cycle

This moisture sensor monitors dampness inside the dryer drum and signals the control when fabrics are dry, helping automatic cycles end on time and avoid overdrying. Replacing a failed sensor can restore consistent Auto Dry performance and cycle times. What it does:

• Detects moisture level via conductivity across the sensor surfaces inside the drum
• Sends feedback to the control so Auto Dry cycles advance and stop correctly
• Helps prevent overdrying and underdrying in sensor-based cycles
• Common symptoms of a faulty sensor may include: auto cycles ending too soon or running too long, clothes remaining damp, or the dryer staying on "Sensing" while timed cycles still work

• 1 moisture sensor

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas before servicing
• Access the sensor at the front bulkhead/lint housing area; remove front panel as needed per model
• Transfer connectors and route wiring exactly as original; secure the sensor firmly
• Clean the sensor contact surfaces with rubbing alcohol; residue from dryer sheets or fabric softeners can affect readings

Washer not heating water or showing tE error? This temperature sensor monitors water temp and signals the control board. Moderate DIY repair fixes temp issues.

This sensor monitors operating conditions and relays accurate feedback to the control so cycles run properly. Replacing a failed sensor helps restore correct operation and prevent erratic behavior or fault codes. What it does:

• Detects a specific operating condition and sends a signal to the control
• Helps the machine regulate cycle timing and performance
• Can cause error codes, cycles that won't start or advance, or intermittent shutdowns when failing
• Lead to inconsistent temperatures or sensing behavior depending on application

• 1 sensor

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas/water, if applicable) before servicing
• Access the sensor; note wire positions and connector orientation
• Install the new sensor in the same location and orientation; seat connectors fully
• Clear any stored faults and run a test cycle per the tech sheet

Freezer cold but fridge warm? Excessive frost buildup? Your defrost thermostat may have failed. This sensor controls the defrost cycle timing. Easy DIY fix.

This sensor monitors water flow inside the dishwasher to ensure proper water circulation during wash and rinse cycles. It sends signals to the control board to regulate water intake and pump operation. Replace this sensor if the dishwasher displays error codes related to water flow, fails to fill properly, or stops mid-cycle due to incorrect flow detection.

Fixes long dry times and temperature issues. This dryer thermostat regulates heat cycling to prevent overheating or underheating. Simple repair.

Fixes ice buildup in freezer and reduced cooling. This bi-metal defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature. DIY-friendly repair, about 20 minutes.

Ice maker not producing ice or overflowing? Failed thermistor prevents proper temperature monitoring. Direct plug-in replacement restores ice production.

Dryer won't start or overheats? A faulty high-limit thermostat breaks the heating circuit to prevent damage. Easy 5-10 minute DIY replacement fix.
