Whirlpool Refrigerator Thermistor For Sensor (WPW10384183)

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Thermistor for Sensor is a vital component in your refrigerator's temperature regulation system. It measures the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends this information to the control board. This allows the appliance to maintain the desired temperature by adjusting the cooling cycle. A properly functioning thermistor ensures that your food stays fresh and safe by keeping the internal environment stable.

Over time, the thermistor can fail due to various reasons. Common causes of failure include exposure to moisture, electrical surges, or general wear and tear from prolonged use. When the thermistor malfunctions, it can lead to incorrect temperature readings, causing the refrigerator to cool inefficiently or not at all.

If you suspect the thermistor is the issue, look for the following symptoms to determine if this part needs replacement:

• Refrigerator is too warm or too cold.
• Inconsistent temperature inside the refrigerator.
• Refrigerator runs continuously or not at all.
• Error codes related to temperature control on the display panel.
