Frigidaire Refrigerator Thermistor 241608402 OEM Part

Frigidaire, a subsidiary of Electrolux, produces thermistors for both its own refrigerators and those of Sears-Kenmore. This thermistor, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part, is essential for maintaining the proper internal temperature within the appliance. It continuously assesses the current temperature and sends this information to the refrigerator's control system.

At a freezing temperature of 29 degrees Fahrenheit, the thermistor's resistance typically measures approximately 35k ohms. Under standard room temperature conditions, expect the resistance to be around 5k ohms.

The thermistor is situated inside the control panel of the refrigerator, tucked behind a rectangular cover on the interior walls of the refrigerator and freezer sections. This component is critical for precise temperature regulation, safeguarding the freshness of stored food. It is compatible with a range of Frigidaire models and certain models from Kenmore, Crosley, and Westinghouse.
