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.

17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor) The 17438200000404 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with an extensive range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors air temperature inside the dryer and sends resistance-based readings to the control board, which uses this data to regulate heating element cycling, prevent overheating, and maintain consistent drying temperatures throughout the cycle. As the thermistor heats up, its electrical resistance decreases in a predictable way, 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 dryer may overheat, may not heat at all, may dry clothes unevenly, may take much longer than normal to complete a cycle, or may trigger a not-heating fault on models with digital displays. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438200000404 directly replaces WF-123X2060 (an alternate catalog cross-reference used by some suppliers, including for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units).

Midea dryers typically have 2–3 temperature sensors: an exhaust thermistor on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and on heat pump models, an evaporator thermistor — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and part diagram before starting. Access the sensors by removing the back panel on vented models, or the side/bottom panels on heat pump models. Photograph the connector position before disconnecting. Unplug the old sensor's connector and inspect it for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Remove the mounting clip or screw securing the old sensor and pull it free. Install the new 17438200000404 sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting hardware. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal temperature regulation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing). Frequently Asked Questions How do I test if the temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed? Unplug the dryer, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 70°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10,000 to 12,000 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. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If you have multiple sensors testing bad at the same time, check the shared ground wire — a broken ground connection can cause all sensors on that circuit to read as open even if the individual sensors are fine. My Midea dryer has more than one temperature sensor — how do I know which one to replace? Midea dryers typically use 2–3 temperature sensors depending on the model: an exhaust thermistor mounted on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and — on heat pump/ventless models — an evaporator thermistor in the refrigerant circuit area. The 17438200000404 is used across this Midea/Criterion/Insignia platform, but confirming the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., overheating vs. uneven drying) and model number before ordering will help ensure you're replacing the correct sensor. What is the difference between 17438200000404 and WF-123X2060? These are the same temperature sensor. WF-123X2060 is an alternate catalog cross-reference number used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea-manufactured thermistor — it appears in listings for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units as well as the standard Midea, Criterion, and Insignia models. If your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, the 17438200000404 is the correct part. Does this sensor fit my Insignia or Criterion dryer? Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size and configuration are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this temperature sensor. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), as well as Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same NTC thermistor temperature sensor installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

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 240597220 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 a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire/Electrolux to factory specifications. It is the exact same temperature sensor installed in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, White-Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Gibson, Tappan, Viking, and Ikea refrigerators 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. A healthy sensor reads approximately 5,000 ohms at 77°F. Replaces AP3185407, 914093, AH304103, EA304103, PS304103, and a wide range of WR50X/WR55X-prefix numbers listed below.

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.

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.
