Samsung Refrigerator Defrost Temp Sensor DA32-00006W

I actually think this helped my fridge a lot. I have repaired this Samsung fridge more times than I can count. I have removed the back panel to access defrost coils that it’s become almost second nature. I’ve the whole blow dry the coils clean of frost thing, rerouted the temp sensor wire(don’t think that works) but finally settled on replacing this sensor. For now it’s been working smooth. No ice build up and the fridge is staying cold. Hope it lasts and if it doesn’t it’s because Samsung can’t make a fridge.

My Samsung refrigerator evaporator was freezing up all the time then it wouldn't cool appropriately the temp would be too high( above 40) and freezer would be to low (below -12) then the display thermostat would show that it was at correct but it wasn't I would have to unplug and plug in at least every hour to try to get it to cool right, so after long troubleshooting I bought this sensor replaced it and so far after 2 months everything seems to be working correctly. I keep a thermometer in the fridge to make sure everything is cooling right.

If you’re having trouble with your Samsung refrigerator freezing up, or if you’re already opening up the back panel to replace the fan, I would recommend spending a few more dollars and replacing the defrost sensor. The connector didn’t match my fridge but I just spliced in the connector from the old sensor and it works great.

I have a samsung rs265 refrigerator that has had constant defrost issues. Ice will build up on the top of the evaporator coil and then grow into the fan, stopping the fan from turning which would spoil all of the food in my fridge. There was so much ice buildup that even doing a forced defrost for hours would not put a dent in the ice. After tiring of constantly having to rip into the evaporator with a hair dryer to melt the ice I read online that I needed to move the existing frost sensor to the top where the ice is forming instead of the sensor being located on the right side of the evaporator where there was very little ice. The existing sensor wire was not long enough to move it over but this new sensor was plenty long enough. Now when the ice forms it does so right next to the new sensor, then the sensor tells the defrost heater to melt it all away. So far after 4 months I am still frost free!!.

Not exactly a simple install, because this sensor was physically different than the original. First, it was missing the clear plastic sheath, and with thick fixtures on each end, there was no simple way to use the old one. So I cut the old wires, and removed that sheath, then use scissors to slice it lengthwise. Then I carefully fed the new wires into the old sheath, using tie wraps every few inches to secure it. Next problem- this new sensor is about a foot longer than OEM. I suppose that's a lot better than being too short! I carefully bound the excess away from the tubing on the plug end and tie wrapped it. Had the new one been the same length, with the sheath, maybe a 10 minute job. With these issues - more like 30. But as long as it works... The good news - the plug end worked as it should- remove the red clip and this one pops in.

Turns out my GE refrigerator was made by Samsung. Everyone wants $54 for the GE part. I substituted this and it's working great. The wire is longer, but that was easy to solve.

I love my Samsung phone. However, my Samsung refrigerator is another thing. Mine is only a year and a few months old, but it has had numerous odd failures. Most recent failure was this temperature sensor failure. And if not for YouTube.com and a few kind folks with sufficient knowledge of how to replace things like this, I would be without a near $2000 refrigerator. Not sure of the exact amount I paid, but the point is that the Samsung refrigerator ought not have failed - to FREEZE, after only a year and a few months' worth of use. Ridiculous. Nevertheless, this Five Dollar part fixed my refrigerator problem -- which was it freezing-up then blocking the refrigerator-side's fan (which pulls cold air from the freezer side), in an area near the bottom-aft of the refrigerator -- which requires manual defrosting when the temperature sensor fails. There is no good reason why something this trivial should happen after 14 months of use (outside warrant, of course). My last Samsung appliance. But I love my Samsung Note II cell phone.

Replaced in freezer. Same problem! Pulled out again and ohm nothing reading! Faulty part from factory! Nothing more frustrating than recieving a defective part!

Tenemos una semana con este sensor funcionando en el congelador y a las horas empezó a congelar sobresalientemente. Al momento muy bien con el sensor. Espero que de mucha vida.
