The drain line keeps freezing up in the fresh food section. I have ordered the sensor/thermistor that attaches to the evaporator coil. The problem is, that the part I have ordered doesn’t have the same type of plug on the end and will not plug in. Can someone please help me get the correct part as everywhere I look it pulls up what I have. DA32-00027B is what I have. The plug needed has a grove cut into the side of it.

HI. When I look up your model number I get the same part number that you provided for the Fresh Food evaporator sensor. p# DA32-00027B. I have attached a link to a picture of the part. IS this the same part you have gotten? I’m not finding any information on any alternate parts or a design change for this sensor. You can order the whole evaporator assembly (p# DA96-00461A) which comes with the sensor, fuse, heater, and evaporator tray. Looks the the sensor connection is a different color in this assembly, but I can not tell if the connector is different. DO you get water under the crisper drawers in the FF section? You could just have a drain tube that is getting clogged and it may not be related to the defrost system. The water is a sign that the defrost system is working, but the drain is clogged, and therefore you get the water in your refrigerator. Have you fully unclogged the drain tube? Flush hot water down the drain until it drains freely. A turkey baster works well for this. These units are notorious for the drains freezing up. A lot of times I do not find any issues with the defrost system or any part failures. It’s just a design flaw that allows the drains to freeze up. Let me know if you need any further help or videos on this issue.

I think it may need the sensor because it is icing up all the way to the evap fan and causing lots of ice. What are you thoughts on this

IT is very possible it could need the sensor. Test your fuse and heater for continuity. Heater should be about 90 ohms. If they both check out good then I would replace the sensor. A clogged drain will cause the frost you are getting around the fan on this unit. Make sure you clear the drain line so that it is draining water.
