• Helps the system cycle the compressor and fans correctly for stable temperatures
• Commonly linked to symptoms like poor cooling, frequent compressor run, or temperature-related error codes
• Works as the sensing element for automatic defrost and temperature-control routines

What's included

• One temperature sensor (thermistor) with attached lead

Install notes

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; secure the lead per factory routing to avoid contact with moving parts
