5303918645 - Electrolux Refrigerator Temperature Sensor

This Electrolux Refrigerator Temperature Sensor (5303918645) is a genuine part designed for Electrolux and Frigidaire refrigerators. Functioning as a critical component in maintaining the desired temperature within your refrigerator, this sensor (also known as a thermostat or thermistor) measures the ambient temperature accurately by utilizing temperature-dependent resistance changes in certain materials. It is strategically positioned and connected to a control circuit that interprets these resistance changes to regulate the refrigerator’s cooling system, including the compressor and fans, ensuring food and perishables are stored safely and spoilage is minimized. To guarantee optimal performance, it's important for the sensor to remain clean and function correctly, with replacement being essential if it fails to calibrate properly. Symptoms indicating this temperature sensor may need replacement include inconsistent refrigerator temperatures, spoiled food, or the refrigerator's cooling system running more frequently or less efficiently than usual. Always verify your device's model number for compatibility prior to purchasing.
