Safely remove and store any food that could deteriorate while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The DA32-10104N sensor is located near the evaporator coil, typically behind the rear panel inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment. Remove the panel, locate the sensor along the yellow wire, disconnect the old sensor from its plug, and connect the new sensor in the same position. Reassemble the panel and restore power. Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to return to normal operating temperature. Tip: Before replacing, test the old sensor with a multimeter — resistance readings outside the values in the specs table above confirm a faulty sensor. Consult your refrigerator's service manual for model-specific instructions. Frequently Asked Questions Will the DA32-10104N fit my Samsung refrigerator? This sensor is compatible with select Samsung French door, side-by-side, and bottom freezer refrigerators. Use the model search above to verify your model, or contact our support team before ordering. What does the temperature sensor do? The temperature sensor (thermistor) continuously monitors the internal temperature of the refrigerator and sends readings to the electronic control board. The control board uses this data to regulate the compressor, fans, and defrost system to maintain the set temperature. When the sensor fails or drifts out of range, the control board receives inaccurate data and cannot maintain proper cooling. What are signs that my temperature sensor needs replacement? Common signs include: the refrigerator running too warm or too cold, food spoiling faster than normal, a 5E or SE error code on the display, inconsistent temperatures, or the compressor running continuously without reaching the set temperature. How do I test the DA32-10104N sensor before replacing it? Use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the sensor terminals. At 70°F the reading should be approximately 9.3K ohms, at 90°F approximately 7.7K ohms, at 100°F approximately 6.2K ohms, and at 120°F approximately 4.3K ohms. Readings significantly outside these values indicate a faulty sensor that needs replacement. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is designed to deliver reliable, accurate temperature sensing at a more affordable price point.

XPARTCO WR51X10055 Refrigerator Defrost Heater Assembly The XPARTCO WR51X10055 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator defrost heater and bracket assembly compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, Haier, Americana, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. The defrost heater is a glass quartz tube heater mounted on a bracket below the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment. During each automatic defrost cycle, the heater energizes and melts any frost that has accumulated on the evaporator coils — maintaining unobstructed airflow through the coils so the refrigerator can cool efficiently. When the heater fails, frost accumulates on the coils unchecked, blocking airflow and causing both the freezer and fresh food sections to gradually warm up. Rated at 120V, 725W, this single quartz tube heater assembly measures 12-1/8" L x 3-3/8" W x 2-1/8" H and includes the heater element and mounting bracket.

Remove all food and shelving from the freezer compartment. Remove the freezer bottom drawer and the back panel screws (typically 2 hex-head screws). Slide out the back panel to expose the evaporator coils and defrost heater assembly. If the coils are covered in frost or ice, use a hair dryer to melt the ice before removing the heater — do not chip or force the heater free while iced over, as the glass element is fragile and will break. Disconnect the heater wires from the wiring harness — note the orientation before disconnecting. Remove the 2 Phillips screws securing the heater bracket and lift the heater assembly out. Install the new WR51X10055 heater assembly in the same position, reconnect the wires, and reinstall the bracket screws. Reinstall the back panel, shelving, and food. Restore power and verify the defrost cycle operates normally. Wear work gloves throughout — the evaporator area has sharp edges. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, hair dryer (if coils are iced over), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What does the refrigerator defrost heater do? Modern refrigerators use an automatic defrost system that periodically runs a defrost cycle — typically once or twice a day — to melt frost that accumulates on the evaporator coils during normal operation. The defrost heater is a glass quartz heating element that energizes during this cycle and melts the frost off the coils. This keeps the coils clear so air can flow freely through them to cool the refrigerator. When the heater fails, frost builds up unchecked on the coils over days or weeks — eventually blocking airflow completely and causing both compartments to warm up, even though the compressor is still running. How do I know if my defrost heater has failed? Remove the freezer back panel to expose the evaporator coils. If the coils are heavily coated in frost or solid ice — especially if both the freezer and refrigerator sections have been warming up — a failed defrost heater is the most likely cause. You can confirm with a multimeter: disconnect the heater and probe both wire ends. A working heater shows continuity (resistance between approximately 10–200 ohms at room temperature depending on wattage). No continuity confirms the heater element has burned out. Also visually inspect the glass tube — a burned, blackened, or broken tube is a clear sign of failure. Should I also replace the defrost thermostat and temperature sensor? Yes — since the freezer must be fully emptied and the back panel removed to replace the heater, it is highly recommended to also replace the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) and temperature sensor (WR55X10025) at the same time. All three components form the defrost system and wear at similar rates. A failed thermostat or sensor can cause the heater to run too long or not at all — replacing all three in a single repair eliminates that risk and saves you from another complete freezer teardown in the near future. My freezer is warming up but the compressor is running — is it the defrost heater? It often is — but not always. A compressor that is running but not cooling can be caused by a failed defrost heater (frost blocking airflow), a faulty evaporator fan motor (air not circulating), a defrost thermostat or timer failure, or a sealed system problem (refrigerant leak or compressor issue). The easiest way to distinguish a defrost system failure from other causes is to open the freezer and check whether frost has built up on the back panel or coils. If yes, the defrost heater is the most likely culprit. If the coils are clear and the compressor is running, look at the evaporator fan or sealed system next. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured as a single quartz tube glass heater rated at 120V/725W to match the dimensions and performance of the original WR51X10055 defrost heater assembly.

XPARTCO DA61-14306A Refrigerator Drain Tube Clip The XPARTCO DA61-14306A is an aftermarket replacement drain tube clip (also called a drain clip or defrost drain heater plate) compatible with select Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerators. This clip solves one of the most common and frustrating Samsung refrigerator problems: water and ice collecting under the crisper or deli drawer. The clip attaches to the defrost heater in the evaporator compartment and extends a metal tab down into the defrost drain opening — conducting heat directly into the drain line during each defrost cycle. That heat keeps the drain from freezing shut, so meltwater can flow freely down to the drain pan instead of backing up and refreezing inside the refrigerator. When the defrost drain freezes over, meltwater from the defrost cycle has nowhere to go. It backs up, spills over into the fresh food compartment, and forms a sheet of ice under the crisper drawers — the signature Samsung symptom. The DA61-14306A is the improved design that supersedes the earlier DA61-06796A, with a longer heat-transfer tab that reaches further into the drain line. Metal construction, heat-resistant, designed for the freezer environment. It directly replaces DA61-14306A, DA61-06796A, AP7020625, PS16622001, EAP16622001, and PD00076719. Important: the clip alone won't fix a drain that is already frozen or clogged — see the installation notes below. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO DA61-14306A Refrigerator Drain Tube Clip fixes Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerators with water pooling or ice sheets forming under the crisper/deli drawer, a frozen defrost drain, or water leaking onto the floor. The clip extends the defrost heater's warmth into the drain line so it can't freeze shut. Improved design superseding DA61-06796A. Metal, heat-resistant. Replaces DA61-06796A, AP7020625, PS16622001, EAP16622001, PD00076719. Important: you must also thaw and clear the existing drain line — the clip prevents future freezing but won't clear an existing blockage. Common Problems This Part Fixes Water collecting under the crisper or deli drawer — the classic Samsung frozen-drain symptom Sheet of ice forming under the crisper drawers or on the floor of the fresh food compartment Water leaking out of the refrigerator onto the kitchen floor Defrost drain frozen shut — meltwater can't reach the drain pan Ice buildup in the evaporator drain trough Repeated re-freezing of the drain line after manual thawing Food at the back of the fresh food compartment freezing (a related airflow/defrost symptom) Drain clip missing, broken, or the original DA61-06796A not reaching far enough into the drain Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. This is the most important thing to understand about this repair: installing the clip alone will NOT fix a drain that is already frozen or clogged. The clip prevents the drain from freezing in the future — it does not clear an existing blockage. You must first thaw and clear the drain line completely, or water will continue to back up. Remove the shelves, drawers, and the rear evaporator access panel in the freezer to expose the evaporator coils, defrost heater, and drain trough. If there's ice buildup, let it thaw fully — never chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils, as the aluminum fins damage easily. Thaw the drain line: hot water in a pump sprayer or garden sprayer works well to flush the drain passage from the evaporator down to the compressor compartment. Keep flushing until water flows freely all the way through to the drain pan. Also inspect the drain tube itself (Samsung DA97-04049D, sold separately) — lint and debris commonly build up inside it, and a clogged tube will re-block the drain no matter what clip you install. If the tube is dirty or restricted, replace it. Once the drain is confirmed clear and flowing, remove any old drain clip that's present. Install the new DA61-14306A by clipping it securely onto the defrost heater element and seating the heat-transfer tab down into the drain opening — good metal-to-metal contact with the heater is essential, since the clip works by conducting heat. Confirm the tab reaches into the drain passage. Reinstall the evaporator panel, shelves, and drawers, plug the refrigerator back in, and monitor over the next few defrost cycles to confirm water is reaching the drain pan and no ice is re-forming under the crisper. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pump sprayer or garden sprayer (for hot water), towels, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Why is water and ice collecting under my crisper drawer? This is the classic symptom of a frozen defrost drain, and it's extremely common on Samsung refrigerators. Here's the chain of events: your refrigerator periodically runs a defrost cycle to melt frost off the evaporator coils. That meltwater is supposed to run down a drain trough, through a drain tube, and into a pan near the compressor where it evaporates. But if the drain opening freezes shut, the meltwater has nowhere to go — it backs up, overflows the trough, and runs forward into the fresh food compartment, where it pools and refreezes under the crisper drawers. Each defrost cycle adds more water, building a thicker sheet of ice. The DA61-14306A clip fixes the root cause by extending heat from the defrost heater into the drain, keeping it thawed so water can always escape. Will installing this clip fix my problem by itself? Not by itself — and this is critical to understand before you start. The clip prevents the drain from freezing going forward, but it does not clear a drain that's already blocked. If your drain line is currently frozen or clogged with debris, you must thaw and flush it clear first, or water will keep backing up regardless of the new clip. Use hot water in a pump sprayer to flush the drain passage from the evaporator down to the compressor compartment until water flows freely. Additionally, the drain tube running to the compressor compartment (Samsung DA97-04049D) often accumulates lint and debris — appliance technicians routinely recommend replacing it as part of this repair. Skipping these steps is the number one reason people install the clip and see no improvement. What's the difference between DA61-14306A and DA61-06796A? They serve the same function, but the DA61-14306A is the improved, later design. Its heat-transfer tab is longer and reaches further into the drain line, so it delivers heat more effectively deep into the passage where freezing typically starts. The DA61-06796A was the earlier version. If your refrigerator's parts diagram shows DA61-06796A, the DA61-14306A is a direct drop-in upgrade — many customers specifically seek out the newer clip for this reason. Both mount to the defrost heater the same way. My model isn't listed as compatible — can I still use this? Possibly. Because the DA61-14306A is an improved replacement for the widely-used DA61-06796A, it fits a broad range of Samsung refrigerators with the common evaporator drain design — sometimes including models where the parts lookup doesn't list it explicitly. Appliance technicians have confirmed it can be used on models beyond its official listing. That said, the effectiveness of the repair still depends entirely on the drain line being thoroughly cleared. If your model isn't listed and you're unsure, contact our support team with your model number and we'll help confirm fit. Should I also replace the drain tube? In most cases, yes — appliance technicians routinely recommend it. The drain tube (Samsung DA97-04049D, sold separately) runs from the evaporator section down to the compressor compartment, and over years of use it accumulates lint, dust, and debris that restrict flow. Even with a working drain clip keeping the upper drain thawed, a clogged tube downstream will still cause water to back up. Since you'll already have the refrigerator open for the clip installation, inspecting and replacing the tube at the same time is the efficient move — and it's a common reason the repair fails when people skip it. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from heat-resistant metal to match the fit, heat-transfer function, defrost heater mounting, and drain-tab geometry of the original DA61-14306A drain tube clip used in compatible Samsung French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer refrigerators.

Disconnect the wire connector and pull the old sensor out of its bracket. Slide the new WR55X10025 sensor into the bracket and reconnect the wire connector. To access the freezer or evaporator thermistor, remove the freezer shelves and back panel, then locate the sensor clipped to the evaporator coil bracket. Remove any tie wrap securing the sensor, pull the old sensor from the bracket, insert the new sensor, and reconnect the wire connector. Reinstall the back panel and shelves, restore power, and verify the refrigerator returns to the correct set temperature. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat pry tool (for panel clips), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How many temperature sensors does my GE refrigerator have? The number of sensors varies by model. Many GE French door and side-by-side refrigerators use two or three WR55X10025 sensors — one in the fresh food compartment, one in the freezer, and sometimes one on the evaporator coil. Check your model's parts diagram or contact our support team with your model number to confirm how many you need before ordering. What is a thermistor and how does it work? A thermistor is a type of resistor whose electrical resistance changes with temperature. The main control board sends a small voltage through the thermistor and measures the resistance — a higher resistance means a lower temperature, and a lower resistance means a higher temperature. The board uses this reading to decide when to run the compressor and fans to maintain the set temperature. A failed thermistor sends incorrect readings, causing the refrigerator to over-cool, under-cool, or malfunction during defrost cycles. Can a faulty temperature sensor cause the refrigerator to not defrost? Yes. On models where the WR55X10025 also serves as the defrost sensor on the evaporator coil, a faulty sensor can cause the control board to incorrectly time or skip defrost cycles entirely — leading to excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils. This frost buildup can eventually block airflow and cause both the refrigerator and freezer sections to warm up. How do I know if my temperature sensor is the cause of my cooling problem? The most reliable way to test the thermistor is with a multimeter. Disconnect the sensor and measure its resistance at room temperature — a working WR55X10025 should read approximately 16,000 ohms at 32°F, dropping as temperature increases. An open circuit (infinite resistance) or short circuit (zero resistance) reading confirms the sensor has failed. If resistance is within the normal range but the refrigerator still has issues, the control board or other components may be at fault. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic to match the dimensions and performance specifications of the original WR55X10025 temperature sensor.

XPARTCO DA47-00243K Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat The XPARTCO DA47-00243K is an aftermarket replacement defrost bi-metal thermostat compatible with select Samsung French door and bottom freezer refrigerators. This thermostat is a critical component in the automatic defrost system, functioning as a thermal safety device that monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle. When the evaporator reaches the preset maximum temperature of 140°F (60°C), the bi-metal thermostat opens the circuit and cuts power to the defrost heater — preventing overheating and damage to the evaporator. It resets and closes again at 104°F (40°C), allowing the next defrost cycle to begin normally. When the thermostat fails, it can cause excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils, poor cooling performance, or a heater that won't shut off — all resulting in the refrigerator failing to maintain proper temperatures. Quick Answer The XPARTCO DA47-00243K Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat fixes refrigerators with excessive frost buildup, a freezer that is too cold while the fridge is too warm, a heater that won't shut off, or a refrigerator that stops cooling.

Choice 240597203 Refrigerator Temperature Sensor Replaces 240597220 The Choice 240597203 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator temperature sensor compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore (253/106/795 prefix), Crosley, White-Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, Viking, and Ikea refrigerators and household freezers. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors the temperature inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment and sends resistance-based readings to the main control board, which uses this data to cycle the compressor, fans, and defrost heaters to maintain accurate temperatures. As the thermistor heats up or cools down, its electrical resistance changes predictably, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time. When this sensor fails or drifts out of range, the refrigerator may run too cold or too warm, cycle excessively, freeze up the evaporator, fail to maintain set temperatures, or display OP error codes. Rated 10K Ohm NTC, with a 5/16" diameter probe, 12" wire, and overall dimensions of 3-5/8"L x 5/8"W x 5/16"H (sensor probe itself measures ~1-3/16"L x 5/16" diameter). Compatible with 20-28 cubic foot North American household refrigerators in French door, side-by-side, top-freezer, and bottom-freezer configurations (post-2005 production).

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Depending on your refrigerator model, the fresh-food temperature sensor is typically located behind the air tower or damper assembly on the rear interior wall of the refrigerator compartment; the freezer temperature sensor is typically located behind the rear freezer access panel near the evaporator coils. Confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and the parts diagram for your specific model before starting. Remove all shelves, drawers, and any items blocking access to the sensor location. Remove the screws holding the air tower/damper cover (fresh food side) or rear freezer access panel to expose the sensor. Photograph the sensor position, wire routing, and connector before removing. Disconnect the wire connector (gently — the connector can be fragile) and release the sensor from its mounting clip. Fully insert the new 240597203 sensor probe into the card slot (no exposure) and secure with the mounting clip. Reconnect the wire connector — plug wiring terminals tightly to avoid poor contact. Use cable ties to secure any loose wire routing as before. Reinstall the cover or panel, replace the shelves and drawers, and plug the refrigerator back in. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, cable ties, multimeter (for testing), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What does OP error code mean on my Frigidaire refrigerator? The OP error code (Open) indicates the control board is detecting an open circuit on a temperature sensor input — meaning the sensor is failing to send a resistance signal, either because the sensor itself has failed open internally, the wire has broken, or the connector isn't seated. Replacing the temperature sensor typically resolves the code when the sensor itself is the cause. If the code persists after replacement, check the wire harness between the sensor and the control board for damage, and confirm the connector is fully seated. If the OP code appears alongside other symptoms like frost buildup and cooling issues that persist after sensor replacement, the defrost temperature sensor (on the Harness-Low Side, a different part number) may also need to be replaced, or the main control board may be at fault. How do I test if the temperature sensor has failed? Unplug the refrigerator, disconnect the sensor's wire connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (approximately 25°C / 77°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10K Ohms. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. If it reads significantly off from 10K (for example 8.4K or 5K at room temp), the sensor has drifted and is no longer providing accurate readings — replacement is recommended. Any of these results confirms the sensor needs replacement. My refrigerator has multiple temperature sensors — which one do I replace? Frigidaire refrigerators typically use multiple temperature sensors: one in the fresh food compartment (behind the air tower/damper), one in the freezer compartment (near the evaporator coils), and often a separate defrost temperature sensor on the Harness-Low Side. The 240597203 is used as the fresh food or freezer compartment temperature sensor. If your symptom is "fresh food too warm" or "freezer over-freezing," the fresh food sensor is the likely candidate. If your symptom is "freezer icing up despite defrost heater working," the defrost temperature sensor may be the culprit — a different part number. Check your refrigerator's parts diagram to confirm the correct sensor location for your specific symptom. Does this sensor fit my Kenmore refrigerator? On many Kenmore refrigerators, yes — Sears sells Kenmore-branded refrigerators that are manufactured by Frigidaire/Electrolux, Whirlpool, LG, and Samsung. The 240597203 sensor fits Kenmore refrigerators with model numbers beginning with the 253, 106, or 795 prefixes that are Frigidaire/Electrolux-built. Kenmore refrigerators built by other manufacturers (Whirlpool, LG, Samsung) use different sensors. Check the first three digits of your Kenmore model number — if it's 253, 106, or 795 and falls within the compatible model list, this is the correct part. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (10K Ohm NTC), probe dimensions (5/16" diameter x 1-3/16" length), wire length (12"), and connector configuration of the original 240597203 temperature sensor used in compatible refrigerators.
