Thermistor Assembly for Refrigerators
This Thermistor Assembly is designed for compatibility with both LG and Sears-Kenmore refrigerator models, functioning as a critical OEM replacement component. Its primary role is to engage the compressor motor in LG refrigerators, featuring a wire harness that houses the thermistor. The thermistor, a specialized resistor, adjusts its resistance in response to temperature fluctuations, playing a vital role in monitoring the internal temperature of the refrigerator. This information is then sent to the control board, ensuring proper cooling adjustments are made accordingly.
The assembly is connected via two distinct wires: one serves to supply power, and the other provides grounding. As the refrigerator's internal temperature varies, the thermistor's resistance changes, resulting in a corresponding voltage drop. This process is fundamental in sustaining efficient operation and accurate temperature regulation within the refrigerator.
