EBG61486617 LG Refrigerator Compressor Overload and Start Relay

Refrigerator Compressor Overload and Start Relay

LG and Sears-Kenmore refrigerators use a Thermistor Assembly, an essential OEM part for temperature monitoring and regulation. This assembly includes a thermistor sensor and a connection wire harness, providing real-time temperature data to the control board.

A malfunctioning thermistor assembly can lead to improper temperature detection, resulting in incorrect interior conditions or disrupted automatic defrost cycles. Wiring issues, such as breaks or shorts, can also interfere with temperature readings.

Common causes of failure include general wear, moisture damage, or loose connections. High-humidity environments may accelerate thermistor failure.

Signs of a faulty thermistor assembly include:

- Difficulty maintaining set interior temperatures
- Frost or ice buildup due to poor defrosting
- Refrigerator not cooling properly or overcooling
- Error codes on control panels related to sensors

This OEM part is compatible with both LG and Sears/Kenmore refrigerators.
