241608401 Frigidaire Refrigerator Thermistor

Refrigerator Thermistor Overview.

Frigidaire, a brand known for quality appliances, also manufactures products under the Electrolux label and supplies items for Sears-Kenmore. One key component in maintaining the efficiency of your Frigidaire refrigerator is the thermistor. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part is crucial for monitoring the internal temperature. It reads the temperature and sends the data to the refrigerator's control system. At a temperature of 29 degrees Fahrenheit, the thermistor typically shows a resistance of about 35k ohms, and around 5k ohms at room temperature.

You can locate the thermistor inside the refrigerator's control panel, hidden behind a rectangular cover on the inner walls of both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This component is vital for ensuring that the refrigerator operates correctly and keeps your food preserved by regulating the internal temperature. It is designed to be compatible with various models from Frigidaire as well as other brands like Kenmore, Crosley, and Westinghouse.
