Kenmore Refrigerator 253.57112601 (25357112601, 253 57112601) Parts

This is a plastic actuator pad located behind the dispenser panel on a refrigerator door. When you press a glass against it, it triggers the water dispenser switch to start the flow of water. Replace this actuator if the water dispenser no longer responds to pressure, the paddle is cracked or broken, or if you have to press unusually hard to get water to dispense.

The Thermistor is an OEM Replacement Part that maintains the temperature inside your Frigidaire refrigerator. This thermistor handles reading the internal temperature. After reading, it transmits this information to the control system. At a temperature of 29 degrees, the thermistor should exhibit a resistance of about 35k ohms. While at room temperature, it should read approximately 5k ohms.

Causes of a bad thermistor can include regular wear and tear, exposure to moisture, or electrical issues. Over time, the thermistor may become less accurate or stop working altogether.

Symptoms of a bad thermistor include:

• Inconsistent or incorrect temperature readings
• The refrigerator being too warm or too cold
• The cooling system running continuously or not at all
• Error codes related to temperature control

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
