Very creative, and an excellent presentation! I just completed looking at all youtube thermistor repairs and yours is an "original" well done!

Wow props 👏🏼 you got it Done and that's exactly how you can run that thermistor. The other way I do it is to cut the thermistor removing the connector that connects to the board and tape the new thermistor tip to the old thermistor and fish it thro that way. But good job your awesome.. Im a Rv technician by the way....

Lawren, thank you so much for posting this video. The craft wire idea was a life saver. We did not have wire but, we did have fishing line. You were right. The hardest thing was opening the black box. Again, thank you!! By the way, I think it is so fun to watch a fashion designer fix a fridge. I love the men of this world. They are beyond awesome. Honestly, they have my deepest respect and admiration. Our world would come to a screeching halt without them!!!! Seriously!!! I watched all their videos. They pulled out all the tools and cool gadgets. The snip, cut, splice, and rejoin. They are in their element with their tools. I understand what they were doing but I just kept looking for something easier, then I saw you. My husband and son were so funny. They could not understand how simple it was. They were ready to dismantle everything. I was at work and walked them through the whole process. My son is more like me. He is looking for simple so I had Dad give him the phone. Even my husband told me to contact you to thank you for your help.

Amazing young lady. Jenky and all. You did it...

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! I jfor the life of me I could not figure out how to get that black plastic cover off and when you used your hands to open the black box I knew what you were doing and I got it open!!! Thank you again!!!

Good job!! It is rewarding when we can do our own fixes! You go girl!!

Thanks so much! I'm still so excited that it actually worked haha!💪😄

That’s so clever! I have the exact fridge and couldn’t imagine how to replace the thermistor exactly because it’s wired through the back somehow. The way you threaded it through is super smart.

Thank you! These are very helpful and concise instructions for changing this thermistor. This method will preserve the seals around the new thermistor. Clipping the wires on the new thermistor to reuse the old harness will allow moisture to travel up the cable into the thermistor's housing and degrade its life.

Great job ! Thanks for!

Great job & Video! We recently purchased an older RV and were not quite sure what to expect. Currently having the same issue, everything is freezing. We will give this a try it will be a heck of a lot cheaper to DIY. Appreciate the help and the "cool" fix.👍

Thanks; I'm glad this was helpful! Make sure to double check that the thermistor you order is the right one for your particular model fridge. ❄🍔😊

Job well done! Thank you for the video and the explanation of your work.

Great job! I’m impressed!

Very nice job, I’m having the same problem that the freezer working but refrigerator is not so good. Thanks for the tips

Great job and smart thinking using that craft wire to fish back the new wire.

Thanks for posting this. Just what I needed. Love to see ingenuity.

Thank YOU for watching!! :)

Great Video! When the thermistor is unplugged or the wire is cut the motherboard goes into "bypass mode". "Bypass mode" causes the fridge to run wide open all the time. That's why it was too cold! There was no temp regulation at all! I didn't see anything "janky" at all.

Thank you I loved your jankey fix, because it helped me and saved me over a $110.

Good job!

Great job and I love the way you keep saying jinky. I hadn't heard that in a while.

You should get rid of any absorption refrigerator. Fire hazard. I know from experience. The chemicals leaked from the coils in the back and destroyed wiring that ran along the floor at the back of the fridge, shorting out the wiring. The fire totaled my 40-foot Country Coach diesel pusher. The RV ceiling turns into a broiler in a hot minute. My unit was working just fine until it wasn't. Also, the "normal" heat in back often results in charred wood usually noticed only when the fridge is taken out.

Thanks for this informative video!

You are AWESOME!!! Thank you!!! 💖

Thanks for this My freezer has been freezing everything Im so sick of putting eggs in the microwave to thaw them so I could crack them 😂 I took your advice and followed your link and bought the thermistor after researching other options. I'll keep you posted if that does the trick I have a feeling it will.

I forgot to update I replaced a thermistor exactly are you staying and it worked wonderfully my refrigerator isn't freezing everything anymore. I found a good way to set the thermostat I got a govee Bluetooth Wireless thermometer and now I can monitor the to the temperature on my phone and able to keep it as close to freezing as possible without it actually freezing.

I’m SOOO happy that your fridge is back in working order, Bill! No more eggs in the microwave hahaha!

Thank you! Ours kept freezing everything, so I ordered a thermistor. We taped the new one to the end of the old one from the outside, and were able to pull it up in through the fridge. Just a little wiggling with a screw driver when the taped section got up to the hole, and it went right through. The neighboring camper thought we were all that. 😂

So by unplugging the thermister it goes into cool mode?

You rock!

very good video! I have the same issue of too cold in frig. my cord was not cut off however. won't the new cord go through into the frig from the back without the extra wire you used? I'm out camping now. I'm wondering how long it took you, since my frig is full I want to do this fast. if I unplug from 30 amp and put my coach batteries on store, will that be sufficient to block electric while I'm doing it? good job! I'm always thrilled when I see a women do these things. gives me confidence that I can do it also then. not to mention the money we save also as you said.

Thank you! Yep! That’s actually what I would do. I would most likely unplug from the back, cut the part off that plugs in so it fits through the hole (the hole inside of my fridge was just big enough to get the cord through), then I would line the cord up with the new thermistor, tape them together, carefully/slowly pull through from inside the fridge & then plug the new one into the motherboard from outside. Not an expert, but just my two cents. I also tried to wait until my fridge was more on the empty side, but from start to finish (including my overthinking & taking photos) I would say it took me about 30-45 minutes. I unplugged and turned everything off just to be on the safe side. I really hope this was helpful; I always feel like if I’m comfortable giving it a shot, I’ll try to fix what I can myself. Some of the prices and turnaround times to get things fixed are NUTS.

@@lawrencappelletti thanks for your response. The one I ordered was the wrong one so will have to figure that out. But I am going to give it a try. The prices for rv repairs are nuts, as you said. I bet your husband was proud of you! 😁

That is NOT Jenky. That is exactly how the pros fish wires too.

Good for you....
