• Note the cam's orientation and alignment marks; seat the new cam fully on the shaft
• Reassemble, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm operation

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.

This damper actuator controls the air damper that directs cold air between compartments, helping maintain consistent temperatures. Replacing a worn actuator restores regulated airflow and reduces uneven cooling or temperature swings. What it does:

• Moves the air/damper door to open or close the airflow path between freezer and fresh-food sections.
• Helps balance compartment temperatures by adjusting how much cold air is shared.
• A failing actuator can cause uneven cooling, temperature fluctuations, or reduced cold air in the fresh-food compartment.
• May make clicking noises or show no damper movement when faulty.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service.
• Access typically requires removing the damper housing or control cover in the fresh-food compartment.
• Align the actuator shaft with the damper linkage, seat the gear, and reconnect the electrical connector — do not force parts.
