A device used to move the temperature sensor of a Furrion brand RV refrigerator to a new, potentially more accurate, location. This kit typically includes a sensor, wiring, and mounting hardware designed for simplified installation. It addresses instances where the factory-installed sensor provides inaccurate temperature readings, potentially affecting the refrigerator’s cooling performance and leading to food spoilage. For example, if the sensor is positioned too close to a cooling element, it may register an artificially low temperature, causing the compressor to cycle off prematurely.
The importance of a properly functioning refrigerator temperature sensor lies in maintaining food safety and preventing spoilage. Relocating the sensor allows for more representative temperature monitoring within the refrigerator compartment. Historically, inaccurate temperature readings in RV refrigerators have been a common issue, prompting aftermarket solutions like this to improve performance. Benefits include improved temperature consistency, extended food preservation, and reduced energy consumption due to optimized compressor operation.
