Freezer Sensors

This sensor (Temperature Sensor, Thermistor, Refrigerator Temperature Sensor) sends the temperature reading of the compartment to the control board. If you notice your refrigerator is too warm, too cold, or not defrosting properly, then there may be a problem with your sensor. The temperature sensor can break from material fatigue or through normal use, and should be replaced. It is attached to the evaporator and control housing in your appliance. It measures approximately 1.25 inches long with 18 inch wire leads, and is constructed out of plastic. This part comes in white, beige. It includes the sensor, with wire leads.

This temperature sensor is for refrigerators. The temperature sensor senses the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends information to the electronic control. Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could deteriorate while the power is off before installing this part. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The thermistor itself, part WPW10383615, should test at these Ohms depending on temperature. It's recommended to test at room temperature and again in a glass of ice water to make sure it's sensing temperatures properly. So it should read around 3000 - 5000 Ohms at room temperature 7000 - 10000 Ohms at 0°C and 20000 Ohms at -15°C.

Food that freezes in the refrigerator may point to a temperature sensor problem. The sensor works like a small thermometer by tracking the temperature inside the compartment. As the temperature changes, it sends a signal that helps the appliance control its cooling cycles. Replacement may be needed if testing shows that the sensor gives the wrong reading or has damaged wires. Disconnect electrical power before opening the appliance. Follow the service guide to find the correct sensor location, and make sure the plug is fully connected during installation.

This refrigerator thermistor kit monitors internal temperatures and sends signals to the control system to maintain proper cooling and defrost operation. Designed for accurate sensing and reliable performance, it helps keep food at safe, consistent temperatures. Replacing a faulty thermistor can resolve issues such as inconsistent cooling, freezing in the fresh food section, or a unit that runs continuously.

Also known as a thermistor.

This defrost temperature sensor and thermistor assembly is designed to monitor the temperature of the evaporator coils in your refrigerator, ensuring the defrost cycle activates accurately and efficiently. The thermistor functions as a variable resistor, sending precise temperature readings to the control board to prevent overheating and excessive frost buildup. This assembly includes a fuse and wire harness for easy installation.

This is a temperature sensor for various models of LG refrigerators. Temperature sensors are used to adjust the level of cooling depending on the internal temperature of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator is warm or not cooling consistently, ensure your evaporator fan is not blocked, before replacing this sensor. To replace this sensor, you will need a screwdriver and a set of pliers, and simply need to unplug the old sensor, and plug in the new one. This temperature sensor is a genuine OEM part that is sold individually and does not come with any other parts or accessories.

This temperature sensor is a genuine OEM component designed for use in Frigidaire and Electrolux freezers. It monitors the internal temperature and transmits data to the control board, allowing the appliance to regulate cooling cycles effectively. A faulty thermistor can lead to inconsistent temperatures, frost buildup, or water leakage. Replacing this part helps restore proper cooling performance and protect stored food.

This part is both the start relay and the overload. The start relay boosts the compressor, and then shuts off as soon as the motor gets up to speed and the overload provides extra protection against excessive temperatures.
