GE Cover Ambient Thermistor - WR02X26261

This Cover Ambient Thermistor (WR02X26261) is a genuine GE home appliance part, compatible exclusively with GE brands. This part is also known as an "ambient temperature sensor cover" and plays a critical role in maintaining the ideal temperature inside your appliance by covering and protecting the ambient thermistor, which measures the air temperature surrounding your appliance. If your refrigerator or freezer is not maintaining a consistent temperature, or if you notice temperature fluctuations that affect the freshness of your food, it might be time to check the cover for cracks, damage, or displacement. A compromised cover can lead to inaccurate temperature readings by the thermistor, resulting in the appliance working overtime to maintain the desired temperature or failing to keep the internal environment stable. Before purchasing, verify your device's model number for compatibility to ensure this part will address your needs effectively.
