XPARTCO DA32-00024W Refrigerator Temperature Sensor
The XPARTCO DA32-00024W is an aftermarket replacement temperature sensor for Samsung refrigerators. This sensor senses the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends that information to the electronic control board, which uses it to regulate cooling and, on many models, manage the defrost cycle. The manufacturer designation for this sensor is "SENSOR TEMP;NW2,5V,R-DEF," indicating its role in the defrost-related temperature monitoring circuit.
Over time, the sensor's electronics can drift out of calibration or fail outright from age or moisture exposure. A failing sensor typically shows up as inconsistent cooling, temperatures that run warmer or colder than the set point, or increased energy consumption as the refrigerator's control struggles to compensate for inaccurate temperature readings. It directly replaces AP5579174, 3955001, and PS4138632.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DA32-00024W Refrigerator Temperature Sensor fixes Samsung refrigerators with inconsistent cooling, temperatures running warmer or colder than expected, or increased energy consumption. Replaces AP5579174, 3955001, PS4138632. This sensor is tied to defrost-related temperature monitoring on many models — if you're also seeing frost buildup or defrost cycle issues, this sensor is worth checking alongside the defrost thermostat or heater.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator's temperature seems inconsistent. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a common symptom of a failing temperature sensor. Since this sensor is what reports internal temperature to the control board, a drifting or failed sensor can cause the refrigerator to run warmer or colder than intended, or to cycle inconsistently as the control tries to work from inaccurate data.
What does the "R-DEF" in this sensor's designation mean?
This suggests the sensor plays a role in the refrigerator's defrost-related temperature monitoring on applicable models. If you're seeing frost buildup or defrost cycle problems in addition to general cooling inconsistency, this sensor is worth checking alongside other defrost system components, such as the defrost thermostat or heater.
Is this a difficult repair?
No, replacing this sensor is generally a straightforward repair once you've located its mounting position, which can vary by model. It typically involves disconnecting a wiring harness and removing a small mounting clip or fastener.
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 to match the sensing function, voltage reference, and mounting configuration of the original DA32-00024W sensor used in compatible Samsung refrigerators.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Don't Touch Heater with Bare Hands Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes. Handle the new heater only by its mounting brackets or end terminals — do NOT touch the heating element directly with bare fingers; skin oils can cause hot spots and shorten the heater's life. The defrost heater is mounted near the evaporator coils, behind the rear interior access panel of the freezer compartment. Remove all freezer shelves, drawers, and the ice maker (if equipped) to clear access. If there's a heavy ice sheet covering the back wall, allow the freezer to thaw completely or carefully manually defrost the coils before continuing — never break ice off the coils, as this damages the aluminum fins. Once the area is clear, remove the screws securing the rear access panel and lift it away to expose the evaporator coils and the defrost heater. Photograph the wire connections and heater orientation before disconnecting. Disconnect the wire harness connectors from the old heater, release the heater from its mounting clips or brackets, and lift it out. Install the new 5304524953 heater in the same position, ensuring it's properly seated in the mounting brackets, and reconnect the wire harness. While the panel is open, inspect the defrost thermostat for damage — if it's brittle, discolored, or shows visible defects, this is the ideal time to replace it as well. Reinstall the rear access panel, shelves, drawers, and ice maker. Plug the refrigerator back in and allow several hours for the unit to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the defrost heater has failed?
The most reliable sign is heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils behind the freezer back panel — when the heater can't melt the frost as designed, ice accumulates until it blocks airflow and cooling efficiency drops. You may also notice the freezer or fresh food section running warm, the compressor running continuously, or food spoiling faster than normal. To confirm with the refrigerator unplugged: remove the rear freezer access panel, disconnect the heater's wire harness, and test the heater's terminals with a multimeter set to continuity mode. A working heater shows continuity (low resistance); a failed heater shows an open circuit (infinite resistance). If you measure no continuity, the heater has burned out and needs replacement.
Should I replace the defrost thermostat and timer at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The defrost heater, defrost thermostat, and defrost timer/control board work together as a system — the timer (or control board on newer models) initiates the defrost cycle, the thermostat monitors the temperature at the coils and terminates the cycle when the coils are above freezing, and the heater provides the heat that melts the frost. When one component fails, the others have typically experienced similar age and stress, and a near-term failure of another defrost component is common. Since the rear access panel must already be off and the components are right next to each other, replacing all three in a single session prevents a repeat repair down the road.
Should I manually defrost my freezer before installing the new heater?
If there's significant ice buildup on the evaporator coils or rear wall, yes — you need to clear it before installing the new heater. Leave the freezer empty and unplugged with the door open for 12–24 hours (or longer for heavy ice) to let everything thaw naturally. Place towels at the base to catch melt water. Do NOT chip or pry ice off the evaporator coils with any tool — the aluminum fins damage easily and a damaged coil is a far more expensive repair. Once everything is fully thawed and dried, you can proceed with the heater replacement.
My refrigerator/freezer has multiple defrost heater-related part numbers — which one do I need?
Frigidaire/Electrolux uses different defrost heater part numbers across different generations and models. The 5304524953 is specifically used in the Frigidaire Professional 19 cu. ft. single-door FPRU19F8 series refrigerators and FPFU19F8 series upright freezers, plus a smaller set of related Frigidaire-platform models. Before ordering, confirm your refrigerator or freezer's model number is in the compatibility list above, or check your appliance's parts diagram to verify that 5304524953 (or one of its cross-references 5304523833, AP6997296, PS16227227, 4975045) is the correct part for your specific model. If your unit is a side-by-side, French door, or other style, you may need a different defrost heater.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire/Electrolux to factory specifications. It is the exact same defrost heater assembly installed in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, Westinghouse, White-Westinghouse, and Kenmore Frigidaire-built refrigerators and freezers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet before beginning any repair. To access the fresh food thermistor, locate the sensor on the left wall of the fresh food compartment — it may be clipped into a housing or bracket. 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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Confirm With The LED Test Before Replacing Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves. Before installing this kit, confirm the boards are actually at fault: with the refrigerator still plugged in, check the status light on the control board — it should blink twice, pause, then repeat during normal operation. With the freezer door open, hold down the flapper door on the left side to block the optics beam; the LED should light up and stay on with no blinks. If it continues to blink twice instead, the optics control board has failed. If there's no LED light at all, hold down the freezer light switch — the LED should flash every second while in harvest mode; if it doesn't light up, the board has failed. Once confirmed, unplug the refrigerator, locate the emitter and receiver boards near the ice bucket opening in the freezer door, and disconnect their wiring. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old boards and take them out. Install both new boards from this kit in the same positions, reconnect the wiring fully, and secure the mounting hardware. Restore power and monitor ice production over the next day or two to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker stopped making ice. Is this the part I need?
Possibly, but control boards are commonly misdiagnosed. Before replacing this board, check more commonly defective parts first — such as the water inlet valve, ice maker assembly itself, or the freezer temperature. If you've ruled those out and the other components are working properly, this control board is a reasonable next step.
How can I confirm this board has actually failed before replacing it?
Check the LED status light's blink pattern. During normal operation it should blink twice, pause, then repeat. With the freezer door open, hold down the flapper door on the left side to block the beam — the light should turn solid with no blinking. If it keeps blinking twice instead, or doesn't light up at all when it should be in harvest mode (checked by holding the freezer light switch), the board has failed.
Do I need to replace just the emitter or receiver, or both?
Both. This kit includes a matched emitter and receiver board, and both need to be replaced together as a pair rather than swapping just one side.
What does "Choice" mean for this part?
Choice parts are manufactured by an independent supplier, different from the appliance's original manufacturer, and built to equivalent fit, form, and function specifications. This gives you a dependable, lower-cost alternative to a Genuine OEM part, distinct from our OE parts, which are sourced from the same supplier as the original manufacturer.

DA32-00029X Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Temperature Sensor
The DA32-00029X is a Genuine OEM Samsung replacement refrigerator temperature sensor compatible with select Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators, as well as related Kenmore Samsung-built models. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends resistance-based readings to the electronic control board, which uses this data to cycle the compressor, fans, and defrost heaters to maintain accurate, consistent temperatures throughout the appliance. 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 — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the refrigerator may run too cold or too warm, cycle excessively, fail to maintain set temperatures, run continuously, ice up the evaporator, or display temperature-related fault codes. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications, the DA32-00029X is rated approximately 13.2 kΩ at 20°C (68°F) when functioning correctly. It is one of the variants in the DA32-00029 sensor family — Samsung uses different production-run variants (M, N, Q, U, X) across model generations, all functionally similar but with different wire harness connectors. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The DA32-00029X Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Temperature Sensor fixes Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators that run too cold or warm, cycle excessively, freeze up the evaporator, fail to maintain set temperatures, or display temperature-related fault codes. Genuine OEM Samsung NTC thermistor — approximately 13.2 kΩ at 20°C (68°F). One of the DA32-00029 series variants (M, N, Q, U, X) — confirm your specific variant by connector style before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Refrigerator running too cold or too warm — sensor not accurately reporting temperature to the control board
Inconsistent temperatures — fluctuating cooling that can't maintain set point
Excessive or frequent defrost cycles — control board misreading temperature
Refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
Heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils caused by erratic defrost timing
Food spoilage from temperature instability
Temperature-related error codes displayed on the control panel
Multimeter test shows 0 ohms (shorted) or infinite resistance (open) instead of the expected ~13.2 kΩ at room temperature
Replaces Part Numbers

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Samsung refrigerators typically have multiple temperature sensors — fresh food compartment, freezer compartment, and evaporator/defrost sensors — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and parts diagram before starting. The fresh food and freezer sensors are typically clipped to a wall or shelf bracket inside each compartment, while evaporator/defrost sensors are mounted near the evaporator coils behind a rear access panel. Take a photo of the sensor mounting and wire routing before removing. Disconnect the sensor's wire connector (gently — the molex connectors can be fragile) and release the sensor from its mounting clip. Inspect the connector for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Install the new DA32-00029X sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting clip. Restore power, allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature, and confirm stable temperature operation before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the temperature sensor has failed?
Unplug the refrigerator, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 20°C/68°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 13.2 kΩ. 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. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If the sensor reads close to 13.2 kΩ at room temperature but the refrigerator still has temperature problems, the control board or another sensor in the system may be the actual cause.
My Samsung refrigerator has multiple temperature sensors — which one do I replace?
Samsung refrigerators typically use multiple temperature sensors: one in the fresh food compartment, one in the freezer compartment, and one near the evaporator coils (often called the defrost sensor). The DA32-00029X is used as the fresh food or freezer compartment temperature sensor on select Samsung models. Confirm the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., fresh food too warm vs. freezer too cold) and your refrigerator's parts diagram before ordering. The evaporator/defrost sensor is typically a different part number, so don't assume the DA32-00029X covers all sensor positions.
What is the difference between DA32-00029X and DA32-00029M, N, Q, or U?
These are all variants of the same Samsung refrigerator temperature sensor family. They share the same NTC thermistor design and resistance characteristics (approximately 13.2 kΩ at 20°C), but use different wire harness connector configurations to match different refrigerator generations and wiring designs. The X variant is used on select Samsung side-by-side and French door models, while M, N, Q, and U variants appear on other model groups. They are not automatically interchangeable — match the variant to your refrigerator's exact part diagram, or visually compare connector styles before ordering.
My Samsung fridge is icing up the back wall — could this be the sensor?
Possibly, yes. If the temperature sensor near the evaporator (the defrost sensor) is misreporting temperature, the control board may not trigger the defrost cycle when needed, allowing ice to build up on the evaporator coils. Eventually this ice migrates to the rear interior wall as a frozen sheet. If your symptom is back-wall icing combined with poor cooling, the evaporator sensor is a likely cause — but confirm whether the DA32-00029X is the evaporator sensor on your specific model, or whether your model uses a different part number for that position. Always verify against your model's parts diagram.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications. It is the exact same temperature sensor installed in compatible Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators (and Kenmore Samsung-built models) from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

WR55X10025 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Temperature Sensor
The WR55X10025 is a genuine GE OEM temperature sensor, also called a thermistor, for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore refrigerators. This sensor measures air temperature inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment and reports it continuously to the main control board, which uses that reading to regulate the cooling cycle. On some models, this same sensor design also serves as the defrost sensor mounted on the evaporator coil, monitoring temperature there to help manage the defrost cycle.
Because the control board relies entirely on this sensor's reading to make cooling decisions, a failing or inaccurate sensor can cause the refrigerator to run too cold, too warm, or run for excessively long periods as it tries to correct a temperature it's misreading. On models where it doubles as a defrost sensor, a failure here can also contribute to frost or ice buildup in the freezer. This is a relatively inexpensive part, and it's commonly the actual cause behind symptoms that get mistakenly blamed on the main control board. It directly replaces AP3185407, 914093, AH304103, EA304103, PS304103, WR50X10027, WR50X10034, WR50X10055, WR50X10067, WR55X10025B, WR55X10026, WR55X10027, WR55X10028, WR55X10030, WR55X10087, WR55X10088, WR55X10089, WR55X10367, WR55X10380, WR55X10661, WR55X10711, WR55X10735, WR55X10736, WR55X10737, WR55X10937, WR55X10938, WR55X10939, WR55X11121, WR55X11141, WR55X11150, WR55X11151, and WR55X11152.
Quick Answer
The WR55X10025 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Temperature Sensor fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore refrigerators that run too cold, too warm, run for excessively long periods, or (on models where this sensor doubles as a defrost sensor) show frost or ice buildup in the freezer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Authorized Service Part Required For Flammable Refrigerant Systems GE's own service guidance carries an explicit warning for this component: it is a manufacturer-authorized service part intended for use in refrigerator models that use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a. Using an unauthorized or incorrectly rated service part in a unit that uses a flammable refrigerant could lead to a risk of fire or explosion. Before ordering or installing, confirm your refrigerator's refrigerant type and verify this part is correct for your specific model. If you have any doubt about your refrigerant type or the correct part for your unit, contact our support team with your model number before proceeding, or have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair.
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Test With A Multimeter Before Replacing Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Before replacing, it's worth testing the old sensor with a multimeter set to ohms — a healthy sensor reads approximately 5,000 ohms at 77°F; a reading well outside that range, or an open circuit, confirms a failed sensor. Locate the sensor, typically mounted on an interior wall of the compartment or clipped to the evaporator coil depending on your model. Photograph the wiring and mounting position before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the sensor's wire connector, remove any mounting clip or bracket, and pull the old sensor free. When positioning the new WR55X10025, make sure it sits in open air away from direct contact with ice buildup areas, since ice touching the sensor can cause it to read colder than the compartment's actual temperature. Reconnect the wire connector and secure the mounting clip. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours, comparing the display temperature to an independent thermometer placed in the compartment to confirm accuracy. Tools needed: multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test whether this sensor has actually failed?
Use a multimeter set to ohms and test the sensor across its two terminals. A healthy sensor typically reads approximately 5,000 ohms at 77°F room temperature; a reading significantly outside that range, or no reading at all (open circuit), confirms the sensor has failed and should be replaced.
My display shows a temperature that doesn't match how cold the fridge actually feels. Could positioning be the issue, not the sensor itself?
Yes, this is a documented and somewhat subtle failure mode. If the sensor ends up positioned too close to an area where ice or frost accumulates, the ice's surface temperature can pull the sensor's reading colder than the actual compartment air temperature, causing the display to show a colder number than reality — sometimes off by several degrees. One customer traced exactly this issue to ice buildup near the sensor location and resolved it by ensuring the new sensor sat clear of that ice-prone area during installation.
Could my problem actually be the control board instead of this sensor?
It's worth testing this sensor first before assuming a control board issue. This is a relatively inexpensive part, and it's commonly the actual root cause behind symptoms that get misdiagnosed as a control board failure, since the board is only ever as accurate as the temperature data it receives. Testing or simply replacing this sensor is a low-cost step worth taking before pursuing a more expensive board repair.
Why is there a fire/explosion warning on this part?
Some refrigerators use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a (isobutane), instead of older non-flammable refrigerants. Electrical components near refrigerant lines can be a source of ignition if a leak were ever present, which is why GE requires an authorized, correctly rated service part for these systems rather than a generic substitute. Confirming your model and refrigerant type before ordering is the appropriate precaution.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original resistance curve and mounting configuration of the temperature sensor originally installed in your refrigerator.
