Replacement Frigidaire 5304471383 Room Air Conditioner Evaporator Thermistor 12 Month Warranty

Restore accurate evaporator temperature monitoring with the Wholesale Sensors Replacement for Frigidaire 5304471383 Evaporator Thermistor, backed by a 12-Month Warranty and responsive USA-based product support. This replacement temperature sensor is designed for compatible Frigidaire-family room and window air conditioners that specify the 5304471383 evaporator thermistor.

The 5304471383 is an air conditioner evaporator temperature sensor, not a refrigerator thermistor. Its primary function is to monitor the temperature of the evaporator inside compatible room air conditioning equipment. Frigidaire parts documentation identifies 5304471383 specifically as an evaporator temperature sensor, while replacement-parts information describes the thermistor as monitoring evaporator temperature during air conditioner operation.

Accurate evaporator temperature information is important because the evaporator is the part of the air conditioning system where heat is absorbed from indoor air. As operating conditions change, the temperature-sensitive thermistor changes its electrical resistance. The air conditioner’s electronic control interprets this changing signal and uses the temperature information as part of its cooling and operating strategy. Frigidaire parts information confirms that resistance decreases as temperature rises and that the sensor can be tested by checking whether resistance changes as temperature changes.

This Wholesale Sensors component is engineered as a perfect OEM-style replacement for Frigidaire 5304471383, designed to meet or exceed OEM performance specifications for compatible applications. Verified cross-reference identifiers include 5304471383, 1514378, AP4416489, PS2359468, EAP2359468, AH2359468, and EA2359468.

An important consideration when researching this sensor is that Frigidaire has updated the service replacement. Current parts information shows that 5304512375 supersedes 5304471383. Sears identifies 5304512375 as the current room air conditioner evaporator thermistor and lists 5304471383 as the previous part number. Parts Dr likewise identifies 5304512375 as replacing 5304471383.

This replacement is compatible with select air conditioners sold under several appliance brands. Verified brand applications include Frigidaire, Crosley, Kenmore, and Gibson. Current replacement information also associates the superseding sensor with Electrolux and White-Westinghouse applications. Because the sensor is used across many different air conditioner configurations, customers should verify the complete model number before ordering.

Popular compatible models include 253.7008501, 253.70085011, 253.70135011, 253.7015101, 253.70151011, 253.7018101, 253.70181011, 253.7025101, 253.70251011, 253.70251012, 253.7112401, 253.71124011, 253.7918401, and 253.79184011. The sensor is also documented for Frigidaire and Crosley CAE15ESR and CAE18ESR families, including multiple R410A configurations.

Additional verified applications include FFRE1833S20 and FFRE2233S20 Frigidaire room air conditioners. Frigidaire parts documentation for both models identifies 5304471383 as the evaporator temperature sensor. Current replacement information also lists popular models such as CRA186MT213, FRA186MT210, FRA186MT212, CRA186MT212, FFRE15L3Q14, LRA157MT10, and LRA187MT20.

Because manufacturers can use different thermistors within similar-looking air conditioners, do not select a replacement based solely on brand, cooling capacity, or cabinet appearance. Confirm the complete air conditioner model and original sensor part number before installation.

A malfunctioning evaporator thermistor can interfere with normal air conditioner operation. Potential symptoms include inconsistent cooling, frequent cycling on and off, incorrect temperature feedback, abnormal cooling behavior, or a temperature-related control problem. Frigidaire parts information specifically notes that a malfunctioning temperature sensor can cause an air conditioner to short cycle.

A damaged evaporator sensor can also contribute to inefficient operation because the electronic control may no longer receive accurate information about evaporator temperature. iFixit notes that inconsistent cooling, frequent cycling, or an error indication can be associated with an evaporator thermistor problem.

However, these symptoms do not automatically prove that 5304471383 is defective. Restricted airflow from a dirty filter, a dirty evaporator coil, fan problems, damaged wiring, loose electrical connectors, control board faults, refrigeration system issues, or other temperature sensors can produce similar symptoms. Proper diagnosis should be completed before replacing the thermistor.

The sensor can be tested using an appropriate multimeter and the service specifications for the exact air conditioner. A properly operating thermistor should exhibit a predictable resistance change as its temperature changes. Frigidaire parts information recommends replacement if the sensor does not have continuity or if its resistance fails to change when temperature changes. Exact temperature-to-resistance specifications should be obtained from the service information for the applicable air conditioner.

Unlike automotive components, this air conditioner thermistor does not use automotive OBD-II diagnostic trouble codes. If an air conditioner displays an error code, use the diagnostic documentation for the exact model to determine its meaning. An error indication should not automatically be interpreted as proof of sensor failure.

Installation is straightforward on many compatible room air conditioners. Before beginning service, unplug the air conditioner from electrical power. Parts documentation specifically instructs users to disconnect power before installing 5304471383. The repair typically requires accessing the evaporator area, locating the existing temperature sensor, disconnecting its wiring, removing any retaining hardware or sensor attachment, and installing the replacement in the corresponding position.

Correct sensor positioning is important. The thermistor is designed to monitor evaporator temperature, so moving it away from its intended sensing location may produce inaccurate readings even when the sensor itself is functioning properly. When replacing the original component, note its position and cable routing before removal and install the new sensor in the same location.

The Wholesale Sensors replacement is built for dependable operation through repeated cooling cycles. Its temperature-sensitive element provides the changing electrical response required by compatible air conditioner control systems, while durable insulated wiring supports reliable installation. Each sensor is rigorously tested for electrical response, temperature-sensing performance, fit, and reliability before shipment.
