Thermistor for Refrigerator/Freezer

Frigidaire, a brand under Electrolux, manufactures thermistors not only for its own refrigerators but also for Sears-Kenmore models. The thermistor, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part, plays a crucial role in regulating the internal temperature of your refrigerator. It measures the current temperature and communicates this data to the refrigerator's control system.

At a freezing point of 29 degrees Fahrenheit, the thermistor should show a resistance of around 35k ohms. When at a typical room temperature, the resistance should be close to 5k ohms.

You can locate the thermistor inside the refrigerator's control panel, concealed behind a rectangular cover on the inner walls of both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This component is vital for maintaining accurate temperature control, ensuring that your food is preserved properly. The thermistor is compatible with various models from Frigidaire, as well as with some from Kenmore, Crosley, and Westinghouse.
