Product Description

Accurate cooling depends on a working temperature sensor. Located inside a refrigerator or freezer, the sensor checks the air temperature and sends that information to the electronic control. The control uses the reading to decide when cooling should start or stop. A faulty sensor may cause food to become too warm or too cold. It may also cause longer cooling cycles, but these signs can have other causes. Unplug the appliance before service and protect stored food. Compare the connector, wire length, and housing with the original sensor before installation.
