The Thermistor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This temperature-sensitive sensor monitors conditions inside refrigerator and freezer compartments. It provides critical feedback to the electronic control module, regulating cool air temperature in both sections.

Symptoms of a faulty thermistor include:

• Fluctuating temperatures where sections become too warm or cold  
• Frequent cycling of evaporator fans and cooling components
• Defrost issues or Er/Ed error codes shown on displays

Causes can involve regular exposure to changing interior environments over many years. Mineral deposits accumulating may lead to sensor surfaces becoming insulated. Physical stress from overloading could potentially crack the thermistor over time as well. 

This OEM replacement part is compatible with some Kenmore Elite models too.

This thermistor clip secures the refrigerator/freezer temperature sensor in the correct position for accurate temperature readings and consistent cooling. It helps keep the sensor stable so the control can properly monitor and adjust appliance temperature. What it does:

• Holds the thermistor/sensor in place on evaporator or cabinet surfaces to ensure reliable contact
• Helps prevent sensor movement that can cause incorrect temperature readings or erratic cooling cycles
• Supports proper airflow around the sensor for accurate thermostat feedback
• Simple, passive mounting solution that maintains sensor location after service

• Includes: 1 thermistor clip

• Designed for a direct replacement; remove power to the appliance before servicing
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently to avoid damage to the probe or connector
• Confirm sensor location per manufacturer guidance before clipping to ensure correct placement

This is a replacement screw used to securely fasten appliance panels and small components. It restores secure attachment and stops noise or loose parts caused by missing or damaged fasteners. What it does

• Holds trim, panels, brackets or components in place to prevent movement and rattling
• Restores proper alignment when a mounting screw is missing or stripped
• Helps maintain safe, stable operation by keeping parts secured
• Works wherever the original OEM screw of this part number is specified

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten securely but do not over-torque; overtightening can strip threads or damage parts
• Keep small parts away from children and pets during installation
