855203P - Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator Defrost Sensor

This Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator Defrost Sensor (855203P) is a genuine part, designed to ensure your refrigerator remains free from ice buildup by monitoring the evaporator coil's temperature. It's compatible with Fisher & Paykel refrigerators, also known as a "Sensor Kit Active Smart Assembly". The defrost sensor plays a crucial role in the refrigerator's defrost cycle by signaling the control unit to initiate or terminate the defrost cycle based on the coil's temperature. This process is essential for maintaining efficient cooling and preventing excessive ice accumulation which can impair the appliance's cooling performance and lead to increased energy use. If your refrigerator is experiencing issues such as excessive ice on the evaporator coil or an increase in energy consumption, it could be an indication that the defrost sensor is malfunctioning and may need replacement. Before purchasing, make sure to verify your refrigerator's model number for compatibility.
