This temperature sensor, also known as a thermistor, is responsible for preventing the evaporator within your refrigerator from overheating during its defrosting cycle. This sensor is compatible with various makes and models of refrigerator and is sold as an individual part. This sensor works with the electronic control board within your refrigerator to control the temperature by turning the compressor on or off. If your fridge is too warm or too cold, consider changing the thermistor with this genuine OEM part, and make sure to disconnect the power to the refrigerator before doing any repairs.

My fridge temp was warm. Freezer temp was ok, but fluctuated some.
I checked the dampener, it worked. The compressor and fan worked. I knew because my freezer was still hovering around 10 degrees. Coils were clean. Thermistor was the only thing it could be. Took all my shelves out. Removed four screws. Took the back panel off. The thermistor sits tucked in on the side. I piped it out, in clipped it. Used
... Read more my multimeter to test the numbers. Numbers were off just a bit. Ordered the part. Crossed my fingers.,took less then 5 minutes to put the part in. Plugged in the fridge. It was sitting at 33 degrees in about an hour and a half. I can’t believe I fixed it. I knew NOTHING about refrigerators. For how big my fridge is, it would have cost 3,000 and up to get a new one with the same cu ft size. Instead, it cost me $44. That includes shipping. Thank you Parts Select!! Made it so easy to pick the correct part for my model fridge!

The fridge is not cold. Checked the damper door it seems working and evaporate fan working but not cold air going up. What could be the problem?
For model number FGUN2642LF6
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.
My refrigerator is too warm in a side by side. Will this part fix the problem? The freezer is fine.
For model number FFHS2311LBB
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!

Is there a temperature sensor in the refrigerator and one in the freezer also
For model number lgus2642lf2
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. If you do not see it there then take a look on the side walls of your freezer section for a little cover that would be over the sensor. The refrigerator temperature sensor is located either with the controls or on one of the side walls with a cover over it. If you would like to place an order for it, you may order it either online or by calling our customer service line and anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.
Where is this temperature sensing thermistor located for the freezer? How do you replace it? The ice control diagram is unclear as to where it is located.

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.

I have searched all over for the thermistor in my freezer. I removed the cover and checked every where. Any ideas. No screw or cover on side walls.
For model number LGHS2665KF2
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.

Refrigerator runs continually, never cycles off. I’ve checked for possible leaks around doors and all seems to be sealed.
For model number FGEB28D7QF0
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!
