2.3.4 Replacing temperature sensor

- Remove electrical cover. (See 2.3.3)
- Push off flat sockets of temperature sensor from the flat connectors of
printed circuit board. (Sensor)
- Open refrigerator door, remove plugs from two bores of sensor cover in the
inner compartment, set aside. (Figure 74)
- Unscrew screws of sensor cover, lift out sensor from cover. (Figure 75,76)
Figure 74
- Pull out sensor wire towards inner compartment carefully, so that the flat
sockets do not get jammed in the lead rubber gasket.
Figure 77
- Thread back new sensor wire.
Practical way to do it:
From the back panel side insert a 4x100 standard screwdriver through
the lead bore. Slightly push the flat connector of sensor insulation socket
onto the edge of the screwdriver, secure with insulating tape. Fold back the
end of wire with insulation socket by 180°. Using the screwdriver, pull the
wire through the bore, then using that pull through the other end of the wire
as well.
When pulling through, pay attention to the position of the lead rubber
gasket. If it falls out, it must be put back in the bore by all means. (Figure
