• Disconnect power and shut off water before accessing internal areas

This thermistor is a temperature-sensing probe used by the refrigerator control board to monitor compartment temperature and help maintain proper cooling. Installing a correct thermistor restores accurate temperature feedback for efficient operation. What it does:

• Reads air temperature at its mounting location and sends that signal to the control board
• Helps control compressor, evaporator fan, and defrost cycles by providing accurate temperature feedback
• Common symptoms of a failing thermistor: improper or fluctuating temperatures, compressor cycling on/off, or temperature-related error codes
• Works as a direct replacement when the original thermistor fails or the wiring/connector is damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Replace with the same type and mount in the original location to ensure correct temperature sensing
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid bending or stressing the probe or leads
