5. Operating the Thermistor
The Linkstyle Thermistor operates automatically once installed and connected to your Dometic refrigerator's control system. Its primary function is to continuously monitor the internal temperature of the refrigerator compartment. It then transmits precise temperature data to the refrigerator's control board. This data allows the control board to accurately regulate the cooling cycle, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains optimal temperatures for food preservation and efficient energy consumption. No direct user interaction is required for the thermistor's operation.
