This NTC thermistor assembly senses temperature and sends readings to the control board so the appliance maintains the correct cooling cycle. It replaces a failed or intermittent temperature sensor to restore proper temperature regulation. What it does:
- Measures compartment temperature and relays the signal to the control board
- Helps the appliance decide when to run compressor and fans for stable cooling
- Commonly replaces units that cause incorrect temperature readouts, excessive frost, or compressor cycling
- Works as the OEM temperature-sensing element in the appliance's refrigeration system
