Description

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that helps the control board monitor and regulate internal temperatures for consistent cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature readings and proper cooling cycles. What it does:

• Senses air temperature and sends a variable resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the appliance run appropriate cooling cycles and defrost timing
• Faulty or out-of-range readings can cause warm compartments or excessive frost
• Compatible with systems that use a small probe-style NTC thermistor sensor

What's included:

• One thermistor temperature sensor (single sensor)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the probe and wiring gently; avoid pulling directly on the wires
• Verify connector orientation and secure wiring to prevent loose connections
