Good To Know
Q: How do I know this sensor fits my Thermo King unit? A: Confirm your unit model and serial number against the listed compatibility for RC-II, RC-III, or SB-III, as fit can vary by production run.
Q: What happens if the sensor is not working properly? A: A faulty air temperature sensor can cause inaccurate temperature readings and poor cooling performance, so replacing it with this 40-974 graded sensor helps restore proper operation.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
