Temperature Sensor for Thermo King
This temperature sensor, identified by part numbers 40-0975, 41-8548, and 40-0872, is an ungraded replacement component for Thermo King SB, SL, SLX, and TS series refrigeration units, designed to detect and transmit temperature data to the control system. It serves as a critical part for ensuring accurate temperature regulation in transport refrigeration applications. This sensor is intended to restore proper function in compatible Thermo King systems.
Overview
This temperature sensor is an electrical component that monitors the temperature within the refrigerated space and sends a resistance signal to the Thermo King controller. This data allows the system to modulate the compressor and heaters to maintain the desired environment. This ungraded temperature sensor for Thermo King units is a functional replacement for worn or failed original parts.

Good To Know
Q: What is the function of this temperature sensor? A: The sensor measures the temperature inside the unit and sends a resistance value to the controller, which uses it to manage the refrigeration cycle. It is essential for maintaining accurate temperature set points.
Q: How do I know if this sensor is compatible with my unit? A: Compatibility depends on the specific model and serial number of your Thermo King unit. It is recommended to verify the part number against your unit's parts manual before installation.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
