Refrigerator Thermistor – Frigidaire

The thermistor is a temperature sensor that monitors the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature and sends readings to the control board to regulate cooling cycles. When it fails, the refrigerator may run too cold, not cold enough, or display a temperature error code. This direct-replacement thermistor restores accurate temperature sensing and control.
