Thermistor
Thermistor Resistance Data
Thermistors
Thermistors are used for various temperature readings.
Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings
using a resistance which varies based on surrounding
temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may be
tested using an accurate ohmmeter.
Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor
is suspected of being defective, the resistance can be
veried. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the
resistance should read 16.1k Ohms +/-5% on your meter.
Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor
connection that has become corroded can cause resistance
values from the thermistor to change as they pass through
a dirty connection to the board.
It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of
our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to
keep thermistor connections clean and dry.
If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply
dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter
a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the
thermistor and the thermistor harness.
Thermistor error information can be found in the Control
Operations - Service section.
This unit has one thermistor.
Thermistor one (Zone):
Located along the right hand side wall. It is used to
maintain the operating temperature within that zone.
THERMISTOR FAILURE
Zone Thermistor
If the zone thermistor in the unit fails, the unit will
continue to cool in a backup mode (Self Preservation
Mode) to preserve the integrity of the contents. The unit
will otherwise operate normally.
