Common Symptoms

  • Fridge too warm
  • Fridge too cold

Check Before Replacing

  • Verify the actual refrigerator-compartment temperature with an independent thermometer and compare it with the selected setting.
  • With the refrigerator unplugged, inspect the thermistor connector and wiring for a loose connection or visible damage.
  • If qualified to use a multimeter, test the thermistor only with power disconnected; its resistance should change as its temperature changes. Lack of continuity or no resistance change can indicate a failed sensor, but does not rule out wiring or control issues.

Pro Tip

Do not use a fixed resistance specification unless it is from the technical sheet for the exact refrigerator model; evaluate whether resistance changes with temperature and inspect the connector before replacing the sensor.
