It's linked to A01257402, A12676001, A12676004 and 140126760044. On file are the Westinghouse WTB4600WA and WTB5400WA, the WHE6000SA-D and WHE6060SA-D, and the WQE6000SA and WQE6060SA, along with Kelvinator KBM4502 and KBM5302 models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns of a faulty defrost sensor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defrost sensor is clipped to the evaporator and reports its temperature to the control board. The board uses that reading to decide when the coil is clear of frost and the heater can switch off. If the sensor or its wiring fails, the fridge may never defrost, so ice builds up and cooling fades, or it may run the heater too long and leave the freezer soft. Some models show a sensor fault code or flash the display. A cracked wire or corroded plug on the harness is as common as a dead sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine part 140012574020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinked numbers A01257402, A12676001, A12676004 and 140126760044\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefrost sensor with wiring harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Westinghouse, Kelvinator and Electrolux fridge models on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the sensor harness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the fridge, move the freezer food to an esky and remove the rear evaporator cover. Note exactly where the old sensor is clipped, as its position affects when defrost ends. Unplug the harness, fit the new one in the same spot with the same cable routing, and secure it clear of the fan. Refit the cover and let the fridge cool for a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I test the old sensor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, with a multimeter set to resistance. Sensors change resistance with temperature, so compare readings in iced water and at room temperature. An open circuit or a zero reading points to a failed sensor or damaged wiring, and this harness replaces both.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551180517454,"sku":"140012574020","price":33.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/140012574020-genuine-westinghouse-fridge-defrost-sensor-harness-assembly.jpg?v=1792026219","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/140012574020-genuine-westinghouse-fridge-defrost-sensor-harness-assembly","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
