It is also listed under the number RH-HXA216CBZZ, which may be the number printed on the sensor or its lead. We don't have a model list or appliance type on file for it, so compare that number and the plug on your old thermistor before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat happens when a thermistor fails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thermistor changes its electrical resistance as its temperature changes. The control board reads that resistance and uses it to decide when to switch heating or cooling on and off. If the sensor drifts, goes open circuit or shorts, the board gets a false reading. Depending on the appliance, that can mean an error code, a heater or compressor that runs too long or not at all, or temperatures well off the setting. A technician can test a thermistor with a multimeter by comparing its resistance at a known temperature with the maker's figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 4055701546\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross reference RH-HXA216CBZZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermistor temperature sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo model or appliance list on file, match the old sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore fitting a new thermistor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolate the appliance at the wall first. Locate the sensor using the old part's position, and photograph how its lead is routed and clipped. Fit the new thermistor in exactly the same spot with the same contact and clips, because a sensor that sits loose reads the wrong temperature. If the lead is joined into the wiring rather than plugged in, have a qualified technician make the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is RH-HXA216CBZZ?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a cross reference number linked to this thermistor.
