WR55X10025 Refrigerator Temperature Sensor WR50X10068 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
WR55X10025 Refrigerator Temperature Sensor & WR50X10068 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat (Blue Stars)
Compatible with GE & Hotpoint Refrigerators, this listing includes two essential refrigerator components: a temperature sensor (WR55X10025) and a defrost thermostat (WR50X10068, blue stars). These parts work together to ensure proper cooling and defrosting cycles in your refrigerator.
Product Features
- WR55X10025 Refrigerator Temperature Sensor: Monitors the internal temperature of your refrigerator and transmits data to the control board. Accurate readings are vital for maintaining the correct food storage temperature and preventing spoilage. A faulty sensor can lead to inconsistent cooling or complete cooling failure.
- WR50X10068 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat (Blue Stars): Controls the defrost cycle in your refrigerator's freezer. Activates the defrost heater at appropriate intervals to melt frost buildup, preventing ice accumulation that can impede cooling efficiency. The "blue stars" designation may indicate specific design or manufacturing details. A malfunctioning defrost thermostat can result in excessive frost buildup, reduced cooling capacity, and potential freezer failure.
