A Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration N189DN performing flight
DL-520 from New York JFK,NY to Los Angeles,CA (USA), was enroute at FL380 about 160nm east of Salt Lake City,UT (USA) when the crew decided to divert to Salt Lake City due to problems with a temperature sensor needed for icing conditions. The aircraft landed safely on Salt Lake City's runway 16R about 40 minutes later.
Passengers reported the captain announced a backup system's temperature sensor needed for icing conditions was playing up. The aircraft landed without further incident, the passengers were asked to disembark, later to embark the aircraft again after the sensor was repaired. When everybody was back on board and the aircraft was preparing for departure, an evacuation slide accidentally deployed inside the cabin causing minor injuries to a cabin crew. The passengers needed to disembark again and were taken to another aircraft.
A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration N390DA reached Los Angeles with a delay of about 7 hours.
