| [title] Test the thermistor | |
| - | [* black] If the measurement shows open (infinite resistance), or short (near zero resistance) check the resistance at the thermistor itself. If the thermistor is out of spec, replace the thermistor. |
| - | [* icon_note] You will want to disconnect the thermistor from the wiring harness so you can check out the problem. |
| - | [* icon_note] You can either pierce the insulation or cut one of the leads. Then measure its resistance. If the thermistor tests ok, the problem is in the wiring harness. You can inspect the accessible parts, but you will have to recycle the refrigerator if the fault isn't accessible. The wiring harness is foamed in and can't be repaired. |
| + | [* black] If the measurement at the control board showed open (infinite resistance), or short (near zero resistance) check the resistance at the thermistor itself. |
| + | [* black] Disconnect the thermistor from the wiring harness. You will likely have to cut one or both of the leads, unless there is a connector near the thermistor. |
| + | [* icon_note] The resistance of the thermistor should be about 11kΩ at room temperature. |
| + | [* black] If the thermistor tests okay, the problem is in the wiring harness. You can inspect the accessible parts of the harness for faults. If the fault is not accessible, the wiring harness is foamed in and can't be repaired. Recycle the refrigerator. |
