Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat, Sensor

Fix frost buildup and warm fridge temps. This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature to prevent overheating during defrost cycles.

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.

Refrigerator not cooling properly or freezing food? A faulty temperature sensor causes inconsistent temps. Simple DIY fix restores accurate cooling.

This thermodisc temperature switch senses refrigerator evaporator temperature and helps control defrost and cooling cycles to prevent overcooling or prolonged defrost runs. It's a compact replacement part for temperature regulation systems. What it does:

• Opens or closes an electrical circuit based on temperature to signal defrost or compressor control
• Helps stop defrost heater when the evaporator reaches target temperature
• Can prevent extended cooling cycles when the sensed temperature indicates the system has reached desired cold
• Restores normal cycling when a failed thermostat causes continuous run or no cooling

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Confirm location and orientation with the appliance wiring diagram before removal
• Handle the sensor element carefully; avoid bending or damaging the capillary/sensing tip
• After installation, observe normal defrost and cooling cycles
