Frigidaire Refrigerator 240597220, Replaces 240597201 Temperature Sensor Fix Incorrect Fridge Temperature
If your Frigidaire refrigerator is running too warm, too cold, or cycling erratically, a failed temperature sensor is the most common cause. In most Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerators, this is caused by a failed thermistor/temperature sensor. When it fails, the control board receives inaccurate readings and cannot regulate the compressor or evaporator fan correctly — leading to food spoilage, frost buildup, or a compressor that runs non-stop. ⚡ Common failure point in Frigidaire-built refrigerators from the early 2000s onward. Part 240597220 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores accurate temperature sensing and normal refrigeration cycles immediately.

The defrost thermostat and temperature sensor are in the same service zone and fail at similar mileage. If your fridge has been running warm for a while, grab both parts — the defrost thermostat is inexpensive and swapping it now avoids a repeat service call in 3–6 months.
