• Monitors internal temperature and reports to the electronic control
• Helps manage compressor and fan run time for proper cooling
• Informs defrost timing to reduce frost/ice buildup
• Failure may present as temperature swings, food too warm or freezing, long run times, or temperature-related error codes/alarms
