When your Everchill RV refrigerator starts freezing food, running non-stop, or throwing temperature-related fault codes, the freeze sensor is almost always the culprit. The Everchill Freeze Sensor (Part# 2023046533 / WD-282) is the factory OEM replacement — a direct plug-and-play swap that restores accurate temperature cycling without cutting wires or modifying your refrigerator's control board.
Features & Specifications
- Part Number: 2023046533 (also referenced as WD-282 / 258010002039)
- Part Type: Refrigerator Freeze / Temperature Sensor
- Connector: Factory 2-pin OEM connector — plug-and-play, no splicing
- Probe Material: Stainless steel for accurate, durable temperature sensing
- Wiring: Durable insulated leads
- Application: Select Everchill RV refrigerators (verify model before ordering)
- OEM Grade: Manufactured to Lippert/Everchill factory specifications
Why Choose the Everchill OEM Freeze Sensor?
Aftermarket temperature sensors often use generic probes that don't match the resistance curve of your Everchill control board — leading to the same symptoms you're trying to fix. Part# 2023046533 is the exact factory sensor, calibrated to work with Everchill's proprietary cycling logic.
The stainless steel probe resists corrosion from condensation inside the refrigerator compartment, and the factory 2-pin connector eliminates any guesswork during installation. If your Everchill RV refrigerator freeze sensor has failed, this is the correct OEM replacement to restore proper operation.
Common Symptoms This Part Fixes
- Food freezing inside the refrigerator compartment
- Refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
- Inconsistent or erratic cooling temperatures
- Temperature-related fault codes on the control display (model dependent)
- Refrigerator not maintaining set temperature
