A failed refrigerator thermistor doesn't just cause warm food — it can silently run your compressor into the ground. The WPW10383615 Temperature Thermistor is the sensor your fridge relies on to read evaporator temperature and signal the control board to cycle cooling correctly. When it fails, your refrigerator loses the ability to regulate itself.
Symptoms of a Failed Thermistor
- Refrigerator not cooling or freezing
- Fridge runs constantly but never reaches set temperature
- Frost buildup on evaporator coils
- Temperature fluctuations — food spoiling faster than expected
- Error codes on display panel related to temperature sensors

💡 Pro Tip — Don't Stop at the Thermistor:
If your fridge lost cooling gradually, the thermistor is often the first failure — but the defrost heater and defrost thermostat are frequently next. Replacing all three during the same service call saves a second labour charge and prevents a callback within weeks.

Installation Notes
- Skill Level: Intermediate — requires accessing the evaporator compartment behind the rear panel
- Always disconnect power before beginning any repair
- Allow the freezer to fully defrost before removing the evaporator cover if frost is present
- Connector is plug-and-play — no splicing required on most models
