Temperature sensor of the evaporator

Temperature Sensor of the Evaporator is an ice maker replacement part identified by part number 1851700501. It’s intended for service and repair when the original component is worn, damaged, or missing. Use the part number on your machine or old component to confirm you’re ordering the correct item. This sensor feeds temperature information back to the ice maker’s control system so the machine can time the freeze and harvest stages. Bad temperature feedback often shows up as slow production, unexpected stop/start behavior, or a unit that won’t complete a cycle. If you’re troubleshooting a machine that won’t complete freeze/harvest, checking sensor connections and comparing readings to expected conditions is a common first step. Replacing the part can bring the system back to predictable operation and help prevent repeat call-backs. During replacement, disconnect power, handle the sensor lead carefully, and ensure the connector seats fully to prevent intermittent signals. If the symptom is intermittent, pay close attention to connectors, mounting points, and any signs of vibration-related wear. A careful inspection of adjacent parts can help catch secondary issues that may have contributed to the failure. Before closing panels, double-check that fasteners are snug and that nearby lines or wires won’t rub during operation.

When possible, run the ice maker long enough to observe at least one complete cycle after the repair.
