8.6 Test thermistor

Purpose:

To verify that the thermistor is operating correctly.

Procedure:

Refer to section

to identify if the fridge has a serviceable thermistor.

For fridges with serviceable thermistors

Disconnect all power leads from the back of the
fridge.

Remove the rear cover (refer to section

9.2

Locate and disconnect the 2 pin male thermistor
plug within the main wiring loom.

NOTE: On fridges manufactured after January

2014, the thermistor is connected
directly to connector CN7 on the main
PCB.

Using an ohm meter (Ω), measure the resistance
value of the thermistor.

To do this, measure the resistance between the
two metal contacts in the plastic connector plug
as shown.

NOTE: The resistance of the thermistor will

increase as the fridge gets colder.

Measure the temperature of the plastic liner at the
base of the fridge.

For fridges without serviceable thermistors

Disconnect all power leads from the back of the
fridge.

Remove the control panel complete with circuit
board (refer to section

9.1

Locate the thermistor plug on the control panel
circuit board.
