Description

This thermistor is the temperature sensor used by a warm drawer to monitor and regulate internal temperature, helping maintain consistent warming for cooked foods. Replaces a failed or out-of-range sensor to restore correct temperature feedback. What it does:

• Senses warm-drawer temperature and sends a resistance-based signal to the control board
• Allows the control system to maintain desired warming temperature
• Common symptom: warm drawer not holding correct temperature or displaying temperature-related error codes
• Safe, widely accepted fix when diagnostics indicate an open/short or out-of-spec thermistor

What's included:

• One thermistor temperature sensor

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal components
• Handle the sensor and connector gently; avoid pulling on wires
• Route and secure the lead per the original routing to prevent pinching or heat exposure
