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.
