ABCVending Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Used the search function on here, have gone through the copy of the Dixie manual I have, not sure what this part is or what it does.... This circuit board and chip is stuck in the evaporator of a DN 5591 - below it you can see the wire for the defrost control, and the curly q end for the cold control is up above this thing - so it is not the defrost control or the cold control. Temp sensor? why so many leads coming off it.... Probably something basic I should already know, but drawing a blank here.... ABC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 That is a temperature sensor. A little more advanced than a capillary tube. Is it a third sensor in the evaporator? It probably has a thermistor on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - that makes three sensors at the evaporator: The cold control - curly q end that is a couple inches from the evap, not touching anything (can't see it in the picture) The defrost control - that is the one you can see in the picture below the temp sensor stuck into the evap The temperature sensor - little circuit board and chip also stuck into the evap. Does anyone have a part number for this temp sensor? Is this something Dixie Narco installed from the factory? I can't find it in any of the manuals I have.... If the temp sensor fails would it keep the compressor from starting? (still trying to figure out what is keeping the compressor from starting - works fine when plugged in directly) Do I need this part? Seems redundant if I already have a cold control and defrost control.... ABC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
