The Thermistor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It functions as a temperature sensor that helps regulate and monitor the internal temperature of the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Causes of a bad thermistor can include regular wear and tear, exposure to extreme temperatures, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning thermistor can lead to inaccurate temperature readings, which can affect the refrigerator's cooling performance and efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad thermistor include:

  • The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
  • Inconsistent cooling, with some areas being too warm or too cold
  • The refrigerator running continuously or cycling on and off too frequently
  • Error codes related to temperature issues displayed on the control panel

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

Kumar S for Model Number MFF2055YEM00

Have this refrigerator for less than 6 months, but out of the US. I have just replaced the board before it has a defrost problem. Not going into defrost cycle. I THOUGH IT WAS THE MAIN BOARD, BUT SINCE INSTALLING THE NEW ONE I HAS STILL ENCOUNTERING THE PROBLEM WITH THE FREEZER FREEZING UP. How to I check the defrost thermistor to determine if it is good? I would like to buy one to replace it. What else could be causing the refrigerator not to go into the defrost mode. Thanks Kumar

Answer

Kumar, You would want to do a continuity test on the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. These would be the only other components that will keep the unit from going into defrost. If there is no continuity on the heater or the thermostat and if there is not continuity on one of the parts then just replace that part.
