8588074873015 Genuine NTC Air Temperature Thermostat Sensor 279 ELTH for Electrolux Group Appliances, NTC Air Probe

Genuine Electrolux part 8588074873015 is an NTC air temperature thermostat, described as 279 ELTH. An NTC sensor's resistance drops as it warms, which lets the appliance's control board read the air temperature and switch heating or cooling on and off. No model list is on file for this sensor, so check the number on your old part, or the parts list for your appliance, before ordering.

Temperature faults caused by a failed NTC sensor

Electronic appliances depend on accurate temperature readings. If an NTC air sensor drifts, breaks or its lead is damaged, the control board gets the wrong information, or none at all. Depending on the appliance, that can mean overheating, not heating or cooling enough, cycles that run far longer than normal, or a sensor error code on the display. A quick test with a multimeter, comparing the resistance with the expected value at room temperature, will show whether the sensor is open circuit, shorted or well out of range.
