Hi all,
Was wondering if any of you use generic thermistors for refrigeration would be handy to buy a few different types and have them in the van for testing and such.
PaddyRe: Generic thermistors for refrigeration
I don’t think there’s a generic answer here TBH Paddy, each one seems model specific… or, so we’re led to believe.
I’d be willing to wager that, as is the case with most electronic components, that there’s a fair measure of commonality in these so I get how you’re going at this.
Trouble is, you don’t know what’s fitted most times and if you get the wrong values on the thermistor it’s liable to play up, you get a recall and lose money sorting it out. Thus far, for the cost of thermistors as we generally speaking don’t get spanked up on them, it’s just not worth the hassle never mind the expense if it all goes South.
Just my opinion of course.

Re: Generic thermistors for refrigeration
I know miele have a couple of kits(just cut end off and reconnect new thermister with through crimps and heat shrink!) that fits about 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of their range because of all the trouble they had with them so i should imagine there is a generic type out there.
Sorry forgive me got that wrong forgot the miele propaganda hype and bulls{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}t!! I am meant/required/forced/threatend/brainwashed to say because of how reliable they are it’s to improve quality to an even higher standard! HORRLICKS!!!!!
Shame they don’t think about an higher quality level with their electronics seems to be the most common and most expensive thing(hmmm strange that) i and nearly all the other engineers i know who work on miele change on ANY miele appliance although they keep telling sorry INSISTING/THREATING its never the electronics! i suppose they’re right and i am wrong but i am the one who goes out and fixes them.
Sorry rant over it just gets me when you have to try and charge their over inflated prices (just had to quote a poor old lady nearly £500 for a power and control board) for something that should not brake down in the first place or that quick! Don’t know if it’s me or what but they seem to be getting far less reliable now a days.
