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.
