Samsung Refrigerator defrost temperature sensor DA32-00006Q, Fixes Evaporator frost buildup that can reduce cooling
Genuine Samsung refrigerator defrost temperature sensor. It monitors evaporator-coil temperature and sends the temperature reading to the electronic control board. Encompass identifies the OEM description as "SENSOR TEMP" with specification "AW-PJT,-40~110#,5V,F-DEF SEN," and a Samsung service guide identifies it as "SENSOR TEMP-F-DEF."

Is This the Right Part?
✅ Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- Evaporator coil or cover becomes heavily frosted
- Refrigerator or freezer temperature rises as airflow is restricted by frost
- Defrost-related sensor or temperature-sensing fault may be recorded by the control system
Check Before Replacing
- Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the sensor or its wiring.
- Visually inspect the sensor, harness, and connector for physical damage, loose connections, corrosion, or broken wires.
- Check the sensor resistance with a multimeter and compare the result with the resistance-temperature chart in the appliance’s model-specific service documentation; do not condemn the sensor from a generic resistance value.
- Inspect the evaporator for abnormal frost buildup, while recognizing that a blocked drain, defrost heater, wiring fault, or control problem can produce similar symptoms.
