Temperature Sensor

Hi Ivan, Thank you for the great question. The PS1765215 is the Temperature sensing thermistor,it detects the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends information to the electronic control. Thanks again for your great question!

Hi John, Thank you for your question. If the refrigerator is too warm, the temperature sensor is one part that you will need to check. There are some other parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the defrost thermostat, the run capacitor, the defrost heater, the evaporator fan blade, the damper control assembly and the filter-drier. You will need to test the parts with a multimeter. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Aden, Thank you for your question. This part is usually located down at the bottom of your appliance near the evaporator. If you do not see it there then take a look at the side walls of your freezer section for a little cover that would be over the sensor. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Gary, thank you for your question. When you are having temperature problems in your fridge, there are a few parts that could cause the issue. You can use a multi meter to test most of the parts. Make sure you cut power to your appliance before doing any repairs or tests. First you should test your defrost thermostat, part number: PS2378768. Place the thermostat in ice cold water for 2-3 minutes after removing it from your appliance. It should be reading 0 ohms to be working correctly. Another part to check would be your defrost heater, part number: PS2369212. Remove it from the appliance. It should be reading anywhere between 0 - 50 ohms to be working. You could check your temperature sensor, part number: PS1765215. To find the correct reading for this part you will have to refer to your tech sheet that comes with your appliance. You can usually find this tech sheet behind the bottom grille of your fridge on either the right or left side. These are the most common parts that cause this issue in your appliance. So, it is suggested you check them first. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Paul, Thank you for your question. There are 2 temperature sensors in your refrigerator. One of the temperature sensors is located down at the bottom of the refrigerator near the evaporator.

The refrigerator temperature sensor is located either with the controls or on one of the side walls with a cover over it.

Hello Craig, thank you for your question. Inside of your freezer, usually near the top of the middle, there is a white plastic box about 2.5" x 2.5" that is held in by one single screw at the top. This is the cover that your temperature sensor is behind. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Danny, Thank you for the question. The most common cause is the condenser coils needing to be cleaned from dust. Also down around the compressor at the bottom back of the appliance. We hope this helps!
