XPARTCO WR55X10025 Refrigerator Temperature Sensor
Replacement thermistor for select GE-built refrigerators, freezers, and evaporator temperature-sensing applications.
Product Overview
The XPARTCO WR55X10025 Refrigerator Temperature Sensor is a quality aftermarket thermistor that monitors temperature and sends resistance-based readings to the refrigerator control board.
Depending on the appliance design, this sensor may be used in the fresh-food compartment, freezer compartment, or on the evaporator as a defrost/evaporator temperature sensor.
Quick Answer
WR55X10025 is a refrigerator temperature sensor/thermistor for select GE-built appliances. It can help correct temperature-control and defrost-related problems when the original thermistor is open, shorted, or reading outside specification. Sold individually; some refrigerators use two or more sensors.
Common Problems This Part May Fix
- Fresh-food section too warm or too cold
- Freezer too warm or too cold
- Erratic or unstable compartment temperature
- Refrigerator runs too long
- Excessive frost or evaporator ice buildup
- Defrost cycle operates incorrectly on applicable models
- Cooling system cycles at the wrong temperature
Replaces and Cross-References
Cross-reference numbers are for identification. Verify the complete appliance model number and sensor location before ordering.
Compatibility
Used on select GE-built refrigerators and freezers, including GE, Hotpoint, Café, Monogram, and certain related platforms. Example models include:
Important: This is only a partial compatibility list. Some refrigerators use multiple WR55X10025-style sensors in different locations. Confirm the exact model, sensor position, connector/wiring method, and quantity required before purchase.

Testing and Installation Notes
- Disconnect refrigerator power before service.
- Locate the exact thermistor position using the appliance parts diagram or service information.
- Record the original sensor location and wiring before removal.
- When testing resistance, allow the thermistor and reference temperature to stabilize before comparing readings.
- Install the new sensor in the same location and secure it as originally designed.
- If splicing is required by the appliance design, use the manufacturer-approved moisture-resistant connection method.
- Restore power and allow sufficient time for temperatures to stabilize before evaluating operation.
Diagnostic note: A thermistor is only one part of the temperature-control system. Cooling problems can also be caused by airflow restrictions, fans, defrost components, wiring, dampers, sealed-system issues, or the main control board.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does WR55X10025 do?
It changes electrical resistance with temperature so the refrigerator control board can monitor compartment or evaporator temperature.
Can this sensor be used for defrost temperature?
Yes, on some models WR55X10025 is installed on or near the evaporator and functions as a defrost/evaporator temperature sensor.
How can I test the thermistor?
A common reference point is approximately 16.3 kΩ at 32°F (0°C). Always compare the measured resistance against the service data for the exact appliance model.
Is this a Genuine GE OEM part?
No. This is a quality XPARTCO aftermarket replacement part.
How many sensors do I need?
Quantity varies by model and sensor location. Some refrigerators use two or more thermistors. This listing is for one sensor.
