Samsung Sensor Temp (refrigerator defrost temperature sensor) DA32-10104N, Replaces DA32-10104V

Samsung refrigerator temperature sensor/thermistor. A Samsung exploded-view parts list identifies DA32-10104N as “SENSOR TEMP” with an R-DEF SENSOR specification and a yellow 200 mm PVC lead; it is listed in both freezer and refrigerator evaporator assemblies for RF263BEAESR/AA-0000.

Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Evaporator ice buildup that can interfere with the evaporator fan and cause noise
• Refrigerator or freezer temperature too warm, too cold, or inconsistent
• Failure to complete or properly control the automatic defrost cycle
• Extended cooling cycles or abnormal cycling
• Temperature-related refrigerator error indications on some compatible models

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before accessing the sensor or its wiring.
• Inspect the sensor body, mounting position, connector, and yellow lead for damage, looseness, corrosion, or a broken wire.
• Using a multimeter, check whether thermistor resistance changes as the sensor temperature changes; no continuity or resistance that does not change indicates a failed sensor, subject to the model's service specifications.
• As a reference for this part, resistance is approximately 6.2 kΩ at 68°F and approximately 16.3 kΩ in an ice-water bath; use the applicable service documentation for the specific refrigerator model.
• Check for frost around the evaporator and fan, but do not conclude that the sensor is defective without also considering the defrost heater, thermostat, wiring, and control board.

Pro Tip

Part Details

Key Features

• Samsung OEM refrigerator temperature sensor/thermistor
• Evaporator-mounted R-DEF SENSOR application
• Yellow PVC lead approximately 200 mm long in the archived Samsung parts documentation
• Used by the control system to monitor evaporator temperature during cooling and defrost operation
• DA32-10104V is documented as an equivalent/replacement number for DA32-10104N

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power before beginning service.
• Access location varies by refrigerator model; the sensor is associated with the evaporator assembly and may require removal of an interior evaporator cover or related access panel.
• Transfer the replacement sensor to the original mounting position and reconnect the wiring securely.
• Avoid damaging evaporator tubing, coil fins, the sensor lead, or connector during access and reassembly.
• After reassembly, restore power and verify that the refrigerator operates normally and that the temperature stabilizes.
