with all due respect, my the thermistor tested fine. I seen too many posts alluding to the "relay." beyond the thermistor, where is this relay. Regardless, I thank you for posting this informative post.
You need to press the test button at the back motherboard box two times and it will give you an error code. If the code says “22” , you can replace the compressor relay. If you google the error code you get, you will get an idea the problem part/system.
@@DarthNero per the service manual, pressing the test button twice will set the refrigerator to have the damper closed and will make the display read 22. The number 22 isn't conducive to a problem. There are three test modes and the display is indicative of which test is being performed. Pressing it 3 times will propogate the number 33 on the display.
To test this part, remove it like shown in this video. The circular object that is orange and black is the thermistor. To check this thermistor, use a multimeter to check the resistance across (or do a continuity test) and if the resistance is low and you have continuity the part is good. This part is designed to "open" the circuit when the compressor gets too hot and shut down the power to the compressor.
This thermistor will open the circuit depending on the surrounding temperature. If the compressor starts to overheat, the thermistor responds by opening the circuit and shutting off the power to the compressor.

Nice video, but it lacks making clear of the problem requiring the Thermistor to be replaced.

Great video from a seasoned technician. I really wished you would’ve tested the items with a meter.
What was te refrigerator not doing? What does that part do?
Very good explanation. Greetings from creators from Indonesia. And always success
Thank you! Cheers!
Very good explanation thank you so much
I replaced the relay and still not cold or blowing any air
Can you tell me IF this is Code #22 ??? Where is the best place to purchase the Thermistor Assembly?
If they actually showed how to test the relay maybe people would buy the part
Excellent video, but how do I tell whether this part is good or bad when the refrigerator is not cooling at all?

@@stephanwilliams9622 Error 22 is not always this part, just checked mine from what you had said and it was good. Thank you for this information.
Thank you
my reading is on this relay is 002 ohms
Very good
Excellent!!
Um that's not a thermistor it's a start capacitor
Thank you for confirming this observation. In fact the technician states that he will show replacement of the starter device (aka capacitor).
Why would you be replacing a thermistor ?
Possibly for error code 22
@@bleedingmonkey weekday does this control. I don't understand this part being in back of fridge.

@@stephanwilliams9622Didn't answer the question.
Is this required when the refrigerator stops getting cold
When it needs to replace thermistor
Hi Steve. Please correct the title or remove this misleading video. Thank-you.
