Repairwares Refrigerator PTC Thermistor Assembly Model EBG60663205

Description

Product Overview

The Repairwares Refrigerator PTC Thermistor Assembly is engineered to deliver precise temperature regulation for a wide range of residential refrigeration units. Constructed from high‑grade ceramic and metal components, the thermistor provides rapid response to temperature fluctuations, ensuring the compressor operates within safe parameters. The assembly includes a built‑in overload protector that safeguards the compressor against excessive current draw, extending the lifespan of both the thermistor and the refrigeration system.

Dimensions measure 2.9 x 2.75 x 2.75 inches and the unit weighs just 4.16 ounces, making it easy to handle during installation. The part is compatible with several Sears, Kenmore, and LG models, replacing original part numbers such as EBG60663205, EAD61050803, 2667138, AH3644971, EA3644971, and PS3644971. Its compact design fits seamlessly into the existing mounting bracket, requiring no additional modifications to the refrigerator chassis.

Usage

This thermistor assembly is ideal for homeowners, appliance repair technicians, and service centers seeking a reliable replacement for malfunctioning temperature sensors. It excels in environments where consistent cooling is critical, such as in households that store perishable foods, medications, or delicate desserts. By maintaining optimal temperature, the assembly helps prevent food spoilage and reduces energy consumption, delivering cost savings over the long term.

Before installation, verify that the refrigerator’s compressor, start relay, and capacitor are functioning correctly. The thermistor works in concert with these components to create a balanced electrical load. If any of these parts are compromised, the thermistor may not perform as intended, so a quick diagnostic check is recommended.

FAQ

What refrigerators are compatible with this thermistor assembly?

The assembly fits select Sears, Kenmore, and LG models that originally used part numbers EBG60663205, EAD61050803, 2667138, AH3644971, EA3644971, or PS3644971. Always verify the exact model number of your refrigerator before purchasing.

How do I know if the thermistor is the cause of my cooling issue?

If your refrigerator cycles frequently, runs hotter than usual, or the compressor runs continuously, the thermistor may be failing. A simple continuity test with a multimeter can confirm whether the sensor is out of spec.

Can I install the thermistor myself?

Yes, the assembly is designed for DIY installation. Disconnect power, locate the existing thermistor, remove it, and replace it with the new assembly using the same mounting points. Detailed instructions are included in the package.

What should I check before installing the new thermistor?

Ensure the compressor, start relay, and capacitor are operating correctly. A faulty relay or capacitor can cause the new thermistor to appear ineffective, leading to repeated failures.

Is there a warranty on this product?

Repairwares provides a limited warranty covering manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase. Contact our support team for warranty claims or technical assistance.
