I am attempting to determine is my thermistor in my refrigerator is good or bad. I tried the multimeter at 200 and at 2k and got no reading. When I upped the setting to 20k, I got an 8.72 reading.
THe service manual calls for a thermistor to be put in ice water for about 8 minutes, than you check the Ohms and if they are between 8000 and 10,000 the thermistor is good. If they are not, then the thermistor is bad.
This is sort of where I was told to start checking.
I made sure the chimney was clear, I did not smell any ammonia and I saw no green and yellow dust/residue. I also heard no "thumping or gurgling " so I guess it is not the cooling unit.
Also, the flue gets hot but somehow that heat is not doing something to make the cooling unit work. So, the flue is quite warm but the refrigerator does not cool at all.
(it just seems that if the meter had a 1k setting, 8.72 would be perfect but at 20k, I think it is too much. But I don't know, I had to watch a youtube video just to figure that out)
