1 Answer Shampale, The resistances are based on temperature: Temperature Resistance 77°F.................................................... 10,000 ohms 36°F ................................................... 29,500 ohms 0°F...................................................... 86,300 ohms The compartment thermistors will have the same resistance readings at room temperature but will be different at the specified temperatures(+/- 10-%). Thanks, Read More...
Pooldog November 11, 2020 for Model Number MBF2256KEW I don't have a proper crimping tool (and have never connected anything using crimping). Is there any drawback to using small wire nuts instead? They seem much easier to work with.
1 Answer Pooldog, There is nothing wrong with using small wire nuts, just make sure that when you get them on put a little silicone inside them to keep moisture out. You would want to do that with the bell connectors that come with the kit too if you were to use them. Read More...
James October 26, 2020 for Model Number GI6SARXXF04 Thank you so much. My last question: Is the wire harness W11029433, which has "refrigerator thermistor", in the light-bulb housing of the refrigerator section? Thanks, James
1 Answer Hello James, yes the fresh food section thermistor is located in the ceiling-mounted light assembly cover. Read More...
James October 26, 2020 for Model Number GI6SARXXF04 Is the "12002355 Thermistor" correct part for my Whirlpool Refrigerator Model GI6SARXXF04? Appreciate your reply. James for Model Number GI6SARXXF04 ANSWER James, the freezer thermistor would be a part of the fan motor assembly WPW10276647 while the refrigerator thermistor would be a part of the wire harness W11029433. Hi, I would like to follow up on the question above. First thanks for you explaination. Now, my refrigerator has issue of the refrigerator section NOT cooling. I have read many diagnostics and most point to the thermistor. So my questions now are: 1. Can I just replace the thermistor in these WPW10276647 and W11029433, by cut it off and solder back a new one? 2. If yes on question #1, what would be the part number of the themistor (I am assuming they are the same in both places). Thanks.
1 Answer Hello James, since the manufacturer does not list the thermistor as a separate part we have no way of confirming if thermistor kit 12002355 matches your model however it was the original thermistor kit for Maytag refs.Yes you can cut/splice the kit into the original wire harnesses.

Justin July 19, 2020 for Model Number KRFF305ESS00 My Kitchen Aid KRFF305ESS00 fridge freezer compartment is getting way too cold. It believes it is at 17 degrees, but measures several degrees below zero and can never reach the set point of 0 degrees. Your parts list does not specify a part, but it appears to be identical to the fridge shown in the video for 12002355, and the thermistor and cover are identical to as shown in the picture and video. Is this part compatible?
1 Answer Justin, We will send you a service sheet on how to test the thermistor. It will be test 142 so follow the instructions to enter service mode. Read More...
Jim June 16, 2020 for Model Number MFI2569VEM0 My maytag is having issues. Model MFI2569VEM0 I first noticed water dripping from the ice maker compartment, then that stopped and then things started to freeze in the refrigerator compartment. I am trying to figure out whether it's the sensors or the control board. I can't locate where the sensors are. What do you think? Thanks.
1 Answer Jim, The sensor for the refrigerator is located in the ceiling of the refrigerator under the light assembly. It would be recommended to check the damper that is behind the icemaker to make sure that it is working. If this checks ok then the issue will be a faulty control board. Read More...
Rob June 06, 2020 for Model Number MFC2062DEM-01 I've had continuing problems with the main compartment temp being much colder than the digital readout, set at 41ºF, but actually getting colder the further down in the compartment you go, from 38ºF to 33ºF. Replaced the damper. No change. Replaced the Electronic control board. No change. Replaced the single thermistor in the freezer compartment. FAILURE! Now the fridge is too warm, the digital readout, set at 36ºF, but actually getting WARMER to 43ºF and rising. PLUS: Now the freezer compartment is getting warmer too! HELP!!! Is there another thermistor in the main compartment? What's going on?
1 Answer Rob, There is a thermistor located in the control housing of the refrigerator section. This would be the most likely cause for this issue and will be part number 12002355 Read More...
Marcus May 11, 2020 for Model Number Jfc2089hpy Fridge and freezer works fine until the ice maker is turned on. Once the ice maker is turned on the fridge starts to freeze everything. This only happens when the ice maker is on. Does this sound like damper issue or thermistor
1 Answer Marcus, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty damper assembly with there being a freezing issue in the refrigerator section. Read More...
Stanley May 06, 2020 for Model Number stanleytauro@gmail.com will this thermistor work for KENMORE 596.79219010 model. i may have to replace the thermistor in the freezer compartment. Thank you
1 Answer Stanley, THE FRZR TEMPERATURE THERMISTOR 12002355/12002355 Thermistor Kit will work in your Sears/Kenmore refrigerator. You didn't specify the issue with your freezer so, THE FRZR DEFROST THERMISTOR IS PRT # W10316760/W10316760 (just in case). Thanks Read More...
Richard December 02, 2019 for Model Number GS5VHAXWA01 I can't find the resistance values to test the freezer thermistor for my Whirlpool GS5VHAXWA01. My freezer is too cold (-10+). but the refrigerator is fine. The thermistor is Part Number: AP4009169.
1 Answer Hello Richard, The thermistors should read 5kO at 77°F, 6.2kO at 68°F, or, if they are down to temperature, they should read about 36.4kO at 5°F or 48.4kO at -4°F. Read More...
