Part Number: OEM18018210
Manufacturer Part Number: WP2188819

The Thermistor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a critical role in regulating the temperature within the refrigerator and freezer compartments by monitoring and sending temperature readings to the control board, which then adjusts the cooling system accordingly.

Causes of a bad thermistor can include electrical faults, exposure to moisture, or physical damage from mishandling. A faulty thermistor can lead to incorrect temperature readings, causing the refrigerator to overcool or not cool sufficiently.

Symptoms of a bad Thermistor include:

  • Inconsistent temperatures within the refrigerator or freezer
  • The refrigerator running constantly or not at all
  • Spoiled food due to improper cooling
  • Error codes related to temperature regulation

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
