This thermistor is a genuine OEM replacement part designed to monitor internal temperatures within the refrigerator and freezer compartments. It detects air temperature and sends data to the electronic control board, which adjusts cooling cycles to maintain consistent performance. A malfunctioning thermistor can lead to issues such as frost buildup, inconsistent temperatures, or a refrigerator that runs too long or fails to cool properly. Replacing this component can restore optimal operation and energy efficiency. Installation requires disconnecting power and following the appliance?s service instructions. Always verify compatibility with your specific model before ordering.

Hello I need to replace my thermistor but I don’t know where it’s located. I have the new thermistor already. Just need to replace it and I need help locating that part in my fridge.
For model number WRF736SDAM10
Hello Michael, thank you your your question. One of our previous customers posted how they did it. We hope this is helpful for you. " Unplugged and empty refrigerator, completely defrosted refrigerator using a hair dryer to speed up the defrosting, put a lot of towels on the floor to soak up the water when the ice melts. Removed all refrigerator racks and drawers, then remove the white plastic and Styrofoam condenser cover. You will then see the thermistor, cut the two small wires connecting the thermistor to the harness leave yourself as mush wire as possible. Splice in the new thermistor and put the refrigerator back together." Good luck.

For model number lkbfs20evms5
Hello Al, thank you for your question. A thermistor can be the issue for a freezer that is too cold. Over stuffing the freezer with food or blocking vents are also possible causes. Good luck with your question.
