Fresh Food and Freezer Thermistors
The fresh food and freezer thermistors (part #
WR55X10025) are located in the mullion dividing the
fresh food and freezer compartments.
Note: The fresh food and freezer thermistors are
removed in the same manner.
To remove the thermistor cover, insert a fl at-blade
screwdriver under the front of the cover and gently
lift at the bottom edge until it releases from the
compartment wall.
Freezer Evaporator Thermistor
The freezer evaporator thermistor (part #
WR55X10025) is clipped to the top coil of the freezer
evaporator. (See
Freezer Evaporator for accessing
instructions.)
Note: To accurately test a thermistor, place the
thermistor in a glass of ice water (approximately
33°F) for several minutes and check for
approximately 16K Ω.
