Description

This thermistor is a temperature sensor used in the appliance's cooling system to help the control board monitor and regulate internal temperatures. Replacing a failed thermistor restores accurate temperature sensing for reliable cooling. What it does

• Measures air/evaporator temperature and sends a signal to the control board.
• Helps the compressor, fans and defrost system run at the correct times.
• Common symptom: refrigerator/freezer runs constantly or cycles erratically.
• Common symptom: inconsistent or incorrect internal temperatures.
• Common symptom: extended cooling recovery after door openings or warm food loads.

What's included

• One thermistor sensor (single unit)

Install notes

• Always unplug the appliance before servicing electrical components.
• Handle the sensor tip and wiring carefully; avoid kinking or pulling on the connector.
• Reinstall in the original mounting location so the sensor sits securely in the air/evaporator pocket.
