Samsung DA32-10109W Refrigerator Temperature Sensor

The Samsung DA32-10109W is an essential feature within your Samsung refrigerator, meant to regulate the defrost cycle and prevent frost accumulation in the freezer compartment. This sensor continuously measures the freezer's temperature in order to serve as a temperature monitor. The sensor alerts the defrost heater when the temperature crosses a predetermined level. Any collected frost is subsequently melted by the heater, preventing the formation of thick layers that could obstruct airflow and lower cooling effectiveness.A defective or non-functional defrost sensor may result in multiple problems. A common indicator is an excessive accumulation of frost in the freezer, which can impede airflow and lower the refrigerator's cooling ability. Frost accumulation can, under extreme circumstances, even harm the freezer section. Furthermore, a malfunctioning sensor may cause extended use of the defrost heater, which leads to higher energy consumption.
