DA32-10109W - Samsung Refrigerator Temperature Sensor

This Samsung Refrigerator Temperature Sensor (DA32-10109W) is a genuine part crafted specifically for Samsung refrigerators. It plays a critical role in maintaining the optimal temperature within the refrigerator, ensuring your food and beverages stay fresh for longer. The sensor operates by detecting temperature fluctuations within the fridge, adjusting the cooling system accordingly to maintain the desired settings.

Known alternatively as a thermostat or thermistor, this component is essential for accurate temperature control. The sensor's function is based on temperature-dependent resistance changes, enabling it to provide precise readings. It's designed to work seamlessly with the refrigerator's control circuit, facilitating effective communication between the sensor and the cooling mechanism. When the ambient temperature deviates from the set target, the sensor prompts the control circuit, ensuring the compressor and fans adjust to keep the internal environment within safe parameters.

Symptoms indicating the need for replacement include inconsistent temperature readings, over-cooling or under-cooling, and perishables spoiling quicker than expected. To ensure your refrigerator continues to operate efficiently, it's advisable to replace the temperature sensor if you observe any of these signs.

Prior to purchasing, it's crucial to verify that this part matches your refrigerator model number to ensure compatibility.
