Temp Thermistor Extra Helps and Tips - Some temperature and defrost thermistor helps and tips
You can test your thermistor(s) using an ohm meter or multi-meter.
The best way to do this is to remove the thermistor from the refrigerator so you can control the temperature of the sensor. You can let the sensor warm up to room temperature or grab a glass of ice water to test the thermistor. With the sensor warmed up to room temperature the sensor should read approximately 6.2K Ohms at 68 degrees F. With the thermistor submerged is a glass full of ice water, the sensor should be very close to 32 degrees F which should read approximately 16.3K Ohms. If the values that you are getting are far off from these readings, then the sensor is bad and should be replaced. If the reading you are getting is not consistent...where sometimes the ohm reading is correct and other times it isn't, even though the temperature hasn't changed, then the thermistor should be replaced.
