There are a number of temp sensors and temp switches. It is a two pin sensor. The sensor is a variable resistor. The fact that the fan runs doesn't condemn the sensor, but it sure doesn't make any case for it being good.

It is NOT a temp switch! It is an input to the pushbutton controller that bases its control strategy for both fan and compressor on the sensors interpreted input.
