Safely remove and store any food that could deteriorate while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The DA32-10104N sensor is located near the evaporator coil, typically behind the rear panel inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment. Remove the panel, locate the sensor along the yellow wire, disconnect the old sensor from its plug, and connect the new sensor in the same position. Reassemble the panel and restore power. Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to return to normal operating temperature. Tip: Before replacing, test the old sensor with a multimeter — resistance readings outside the values in the specs table above confirm a faulty sensor. Consult your refrigerator's service manual for model-specific instructions.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- FAQ --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eWill the DA32-10104N fit my Samsung refrigerator?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eThis sensor is compatible with select Samsung French door, side-by-side, and bottom freezer refrigerators.
