Description

Thermistor monitors internal appliance temperature and sends readings to the control board so the system can maintain proper cooling and cycle behavior reliably. What it does:

• Detects temperature and reports it to the control board so cooling, fans and cycles respond correctly.
• Helps the appliance maintain consistent temperatures and prevents overcooling or excessive runtime.
• A faulty thermistor can cause temperature fluctuations, an appliance that runs constantly or not long enough, or uneven cooling.
• Works as the temperature-sensing component used by the control system to regulate performance.

What's included: One thermistor Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Note connector orientation and wire routing before removal; handle the sensor leads gently to avoid damage.
• Seat the connector fully and secure any clips or mounting points so the sensor sits in the correct location.
