Fix Number: FIX304103
Manufacturer Part Number: WR55X10025

The temperature sensor, also referred to as a thermistor, is used to monitor the refrigerator and freezer internal temperatures. The sensor is a small capsule like device that is protected by a white plastic casing. The sensor sends the temperature reading to the control board, which uses this information to turn on the compressor and fan circuits. If this part is malfunctioning it may inaccurately signal the control board to turn off these components, resulting in warmer than normal temperatures in the fresh food and freezer sections. This part can break from material fatigue through normal use, and will need to be replaced when this happens. You will find this part attached to the evaporator and control housing in your appliance. This OEM part measures roughly 1.25 inches with 18-inch long wire leads. For this repair, you will need a 1/4 inch nut driver, a pair of strippers and crimpers, and a pair of wire splice connectors.

If your oven is running hot, not heating evenly, not coming up to temperature, or just not heating up at all, there may be an issue with the temperature sensor. This sensor is usually found in the back of the oven or fitted onto the broil assembly, and is used to measure the temperature inside the cavity of the oven. It then sends that information back to the electronic control, which adjusts the temperature as necessary. If you need a new sensor, this is a genuine OEM replacement part. Before beginning the repair, be sure to disconnect the power supply to your oven, along with the gas if applicable.
