Okay, so I have an older model Current USA Prime Tower Chiller, model 2464. Its a 1/3 HP chiller that looks like this one:

I bought it used last year and it had worked fine for me all summer... well, about a month ago I noticed that the temperature sensor was going on it. It would come on and immediately read a temperature of 104. I run it with my Apex, so I wasnt concerned that I was going to over-cool my tank, but did begin to look for a replacement sensor... nothing.
Today, I got home and heard the alarm going off. Went downstairs to the Chiller beeping and displaying an E1 code. I gather this indicates that the temperature sensor HAS to be replaced? I honestly cant find the part ANYWHERE. I know the unit hasnt been produced in a long time, but i would have thought some of the parts were... well... common or typical of the appliance. I was able to locate one here (but its out of stock... i imagine indefinitely):
