It tells the fridge's control when the evaporator has cleared of frost during a defrost cycle. With no model list on file, confirm the fit by matching 140126760010 to your old sensor's label or to the parts list for your fridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a faulty defrost sensor causes freezer ice build-up\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring defrost, the control switches the heater on and watches the defrost sensor clipped to the evaporator. Once the sensor reports the coil has warmed enough, the heater switches off and cooling resumes. If the sensor drifts or fails, defrost can end too early and ice slowly builds up on the evaporator, or the heater may not start at all. Common signs are frost packed behind the freezer panel, a warm fridge section, water leaking from the freezer, or an error code on electronic models. Measure the sensor's resistance and compare it with the expected value before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 140126760010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreezer defrost sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied with wiring harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Electrolux group frost free fridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompartment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreezer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the defrost sensor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower the fridge down at the wall and unplug it. Empty the freezer and remove its rear panel to reach the evaporator. The sensor normally clips onto the evaporator tubing, so note its exact position and how the harness is routed before taking it off. Clip the new one in the same spot, reconnect the plug, refit the panel and leave the fridge to run a full cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I replace the defrost heater at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly if it tests faulty. Check the heater for continuity and the sensor for a sensible resistance reading. Either part can cause ice build-up, so testing both saves you ordering the wrong one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44549346787406,"sku":"140126760010","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/140126760010-genuine-electrolux-freezer-defrost-sensor-with-harness","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
