Thermistor Assembly 242278801 OEM Part

Refrigerator Thermistor Assembly with Extended Harness

Part of the Frigidaire brand lineup, which includes Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, and Sears-Kenmore, this Thermistor Assembly is an OEM replacement component specifically engineered for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is vital for regulating temperature by continuously monitoring and adjusting the temperatures within both the refrigerator and the freezer, ensuring steady cooling performance. The assembly measures 6 inches wide and 12.5 inches deep.

Equipped with a sensitive sensor, it detects temperature fluctuations and relays this data to the refrigerator's control board. In response, the control board may activate the compressor to maintain ideal conditions for food storage.

Signs that the thermistor assembly might require replacement include:

- Inconsistent or unstable temperatures in various sections
- The compressor cycles on and off more frequently than expected
- Frost or ice begins to form in the refrigerator or freezer
- Items inside experience ongoing overheating or overcooling

This component is crafted to integrate smoothly with specific appliance models and is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigeration units as well.
