Whirlpool Thermistor W10902214 OEM Part

Whirlpool produces a diverse array of products across numerous brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures equipment for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The thermistor, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component created for Whirlpool's side-by-side refrigerators, resides within the appliance's evaporator system. Its primary function is to monitor temperatures, ensuring the environment inside the unit remains consistent and well-regulated.

Several factors can contribute to the deterioration of a thermistor, including extended usage, moisture exposure within the refrigerator, or physical harm to the sensor.

When a thermistor malfunctions, various complications may occur, such as:
- Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments
- Erratic temperature fluctuations in the storage zones
- Repeated compressor activation despite stable internal temperatures
- Display of error notifications or fault codes

This genuine replacement thermistor is compatible with side-by-side refrigerator models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
