The model we have on file for it is the Haier HVF260WH2. A defrost sensor is a small temperature probe mounted near the evaporator coil, and the control uses its reading to decide when a defrost should finish. If your old sensor carries the H0070400433 number, this is a direct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIce on the back panel or Haier freezer not cold enough?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrost-free fridges and freezers melt the ice off their evaporator coil every so often using a defrost heater. The defrost sensor reports the coil temperature so the control knows when the ice has gone and can switch the heater off and return to cooling. When the sensor drifts or fails, defrosts can stop short or not happen at all. Ice then packs the coil, airflow stops, and the cabinet warms up even though the compressor keeps running. On models with a display, a failed sensor can also bring up a fault code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Haier defrost sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number H0070400433\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for Haier HVF260WH2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitors evaporator temperature for the defrost cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging the defrost sensor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the appliance and move the food to an esky or another fridge. The sensor normally sits behind the rear panel in the freezer section, clipped to the evaporator. Let any ice melt with time or a fan, never with a sharp tool or a flame. Unplug the old sensor's connector, or join the new leads with waterproof connectors if it is wired in, then refit the panel and let the unit run for a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow can I tell if the defrost sensor is the problem?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sensor can be tested with a multimeter by measuring its resistance at a known temperature and comparing it with the maker's figures. Heavy ice on the evaporator with a working defrost heater often points to the sensor or the control. A technician can confirm which.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44550768787534,"sku":"H0070400433","price":28.81,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/h0070400433-genuine-haier-fridge-defrost-sensor.jpg?v=1792026348","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/h0070400433-genuine-haier-fridge-defrost-sensor","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
