240597220 Frigidaire Refrigerator/Freezer Temperature Sensing Thermistor

The Refrigerator/Freezer Temperature Sensing Thermistor is a genuine OEM part designed for Frigidaire refrigerators, which also fits models from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore. This component plays a crucial role in monitoring and adjusting the internal temperature to ensure it remains at the set level.

The function of the temperature sensor is to provide real-time data to the control board of the refrigerator. This information helps in activating the cooling process when necessary, enabling the refrigerator to maintain the correct temperature automatically.

Common issues with a defective temperature sensor may arise due to several factors such as loose electrical connections, moisture damage, or general wear from continuous use.

Signs that may indicate a malfunctioning temperature sensor include:

- Unreliable temperature readings
- Refrigerator temperature being too high or too low
- Overactive cooling cycles, regardless of whether the door is open or closed
- Excessive frost formation due to overly low temperatures
- Food spoilage due to insufficient cooling

Installing a replacement Frigidaire OEM temperature sensor can help regain precise temperature management and functionality in your appliance. This part is compatible with various brands including Electrolux and Sears/Kenmore, ensuring broad applicability.
