Thanks. What helped me was seeing the different ways they can look (white vs brass). Found it.

Hi Man, Thank you for this great video really clear, and enjoyed it. I have a side-by-side freezer and fridge together from Whirpool and I see the temperature on the freezer side is way more (-22) than the settings (-18). I have not checked yet the Thermister, but I see it is a 2,7K ohm which is hard to find. Is it fine if I buy a 2K Thermistor or should I buy a 5K Themistor. How does this affect the fridge? Thank you very much in advance

You will need to buy the exact part number thermistor listed for your model. If you use the wrong one it won't work out.

Always great videos

Thank you!

I noticed that the parts page on the Parts Dr website shows different resistance readings than you show on this video. The readings on your video are the same as I get on the original thermistor installed on my Whirlpool Frig WRX986SIHZ01. I get 7.95k @ 32F and 3.36k @ 67F. Is this about right or do I have a bad thermistor?

[@PartsDr]

The resistance values shown in this video should match your model refrigerator. It sounds like it is testing good from the reading you received.

The fc thermistor passed internal board test and my freezer is not freezing all contents and not making ice. Could thermistor still be bad?

[@PartsDr]

It could be bad, but more likely your problem is caused by something else.
