Refrigerator Compartment (continued)

Refrigerator Thermistor

The refrigerator Thermistor is a variable resistance device connected to the control board.

The temperature of the refrigerator compartment causes the resistance of the Thermistor to

change. The resistance is monitored by a circuit on the control board which controls the opera-

tion of the cooling system. The Thermistor is located on the right side of the refrigerator cabinet

attached to the back of the cover labeled 6

sense.

1. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.

2. Disconnect the wiring harness from

connector P6 on the control board.

3. Connect an Ohmmeter across the Orange

and Blue/White wires in the disconnected

wiring harness and measure the

resistance.

4. Compare the resistance measured to the

value listed on the tech sheet shipped

with the refrigerator. Replace Thermistor

if needed.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before

operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or

electrical shock.
