Mike for Model Number Kitchenaid ksf26c7xyy00 Refrigerator compartment was warm. Freezer compartment was fine. Found that the refrigerator compartment evaporator was frozen up. The bad thermistor was replaced. Now, I notice, the refrig temps bounce between 41 and 31, even during night times when door is closed. In the parts diagram for this model, I see another thermistor on the right side of the refrigerator compartment about half way up. What is its purpose? Does it have anything to do with the temp range? Or should I just not worry about the differences in the temp range?
Answer Mike, it would be recommended that the temperature is checked in a couple of spots of the refrigerator as location can change what temperature is measured. If the temperature measured is in front of the air vent, it will show colder temps. If the refrigerator is set to 37°F, the temperature can increase up to 4°F before the refrigerator calls for cold air again. The thermistor W10316760 on the right wall is going to be the cabin thermistor. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, May 3, 2021
