Thomas May 01, 2020 for Model Number kssc42fms02 Where do I locate this thermistor WP2188820 (AP6006068) for replacement?
1 Answer Thomas, Depending on the thermistor, open the freezer or refrigerator door and remove any items from the shelf that are in front of the thermistor. It may be necessary to remove the shelf as well. Remove the hex-head screw from the thermistor cover. Pull the cover forward at the screw end, and unhook the tab from the slot at the other end of the thermistor cover. Disconnect the 2-wire connector and remove the thermistor. Reverse the procedure and check for proper temperatures in 12 to 24 hours. Thanks, Read More...
