The Thermistor Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. Consisting of a thermistor temperature sensor and mounting bracket, this kit plays a key role in refrigeration system operation. Strategically positioned inside the unit, the sensor continually monitors interior temperatures to maintain proper cooling levels throughout all compartments.
Symptoms of a bad thermistor kit include:
- Fluctuating or uncontrollable temperatures within sections of the fridge
- The condenser or evaporator fans running excessively long periods
- Ice buildup inside compartments disrupting temperature regulation
Causes can involve thermistor degradation over time losing sensitivity and providing inaccurate reads to system computers.
This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
