297110400 Frigidaire Thermistor for Refrigerator and Freezer

Thermistor for Refrigerator and Freezer.

The Frigidaire brand encompasses several others including Crosley, Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, Kelvinator, and Sears-Kenmore. This thermistor serves as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part specifically for Frigidaire refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in detecting and regulating the temperatures inside the refrigerator, enabling the compressor and evaporator fan to adjust their operations accordingly. A well-functioning thermistor is vital for maintaining stable cooling and humidity levels. At room temperature, the thermistor should show a resistance of 5k ohms when measured with a multimeter.

A thermistor may malfunction due to prolonged exposure to varying temperatures or physical damage to its head or wiring connectors, which can disrupt its function.

Signs of a malfunctioning thermistor include:

- Inconsistent or poorly regulated interior temperatures
- The refrigerator or freezer operating non-stop
- Display of error codes or flashing lights indicating issues with temperature control

This replacement thermistor is also suitable for use in appliances from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore.
