Good To Know
Q: How does the 40-974 graded sensor work in a Thermo King unit? A: It measures the air temperature in the refrigeration compartment and sends that data to the system controller, which then adjusts cooling output to maintain the desired setpoint.
Q: Is this sensor a direct drop-in replacement? A: Yes, the 40-974 is designed as a direct replacement for Thermo King air temperature sensor applications, but always confirm serial number compatibility before installing.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
