Description

This heat probe senses evaporator temperature on refrigerators that use R600a refrigerant, helping the control board cycle defrost and cooling properly. Replaces a failed probe to restore accurate temperature feedback and more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Monitors evaporator temperature so the control can start/stop cooling and defrost cycles
• Helps prevent continuous running, frost buildup, and uneven cooling when working correctly
• Commonly replaced if fridge runs continuously, cycles erratically, or has frequent frost/defrost issues
• Works with R600a systems — matches OEM sensing function and connector type

What's included: One heat probe as shown Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the evaporator or control components
• Handle the probe and wiring gently; avoid kinking the sensing element or strain on the connector
• R600a is a flammable refrigerant—do not pierce or handle refrigerant lines;
• After replacement, run a full cooling/defrost cycle check
