Sorry, but you are only half right. The sensor was designed to keep the cooling coils from overheating, that's right. If the cooling coils overheat and the red light comes on with the sensor your refrigerator shuts down, it does not cool, and if you bypass it then you are risking the liability occuring that it was design to avoid for Norcold. In other words, if your refrigerator overheats and catches fire you are on your own. If the sensor trips your food will spoil unless you can get to a repair shop and have another sensor installed. That is a fact! Now, my coils blew after they installed the sensor. The red light came on like it was suppose to come on. Did the coils blow before the red light came on or after it came on? Who knows? I fixed it, I put in new coils, my food doesn't spoil.
My point was and still is if you know it,s simply a failed sensor then one should by pass it to save the food not stand by foolishly till a new sensor is installed!!! obviously if the coils fail then yes u loose whatever food was in the fridge assuming you have no other avenues of keeping it cool
If your coil blew after the sensor was installed and shut down the fridge then that proves it(sensor) did what was intended of it
