About this sensor
Sensors tell the control board what is happening inside the fridge, from temperature and water level to door position. A faulty sensor often produces an error code rather than an obvious symptom.
Common symptoms of a failed sensor
- An error code pointing to the sensor circuit
- Incorrect temperature or over-filling
- A cycle that will not start or stops early
