Freezer Sensors

Also known as a thermistor. This part is used to sense the temperature in the cabinet.

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.

Keep your refrigerator running efficiently with this defrost sensor and thermistor assembly. It monitors the evaporator coil temperature to help regulate the defrost cycle, preventing frost buildup and maintaining proper airflow. If your fridge is struggling to stay cool or showing signs of frost overload, this part may need replacing. It comes with a fuse and wire harness for a complete and straightforward installation.

If your freezer is too warm, too cold, or showing signs of frost buildup, this temperature sensor may need replacing. It detects the internal temperature and sends that information to the control board, helping manage cooling cycles. Compatible with Frigidaire and Electrolux models, this OEM part is essential for keeping your freezer running efficiently and preventing food spoilage.

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.
