Ignoring a malfunctioning thermistor in a refrigerator can lead to several issues. The most immediate consequence is the inability of the refrigerator to maintain the correct temperature, potentially leading to food spoilage or unsafe storage conditions. Over time, this can also strain other components of the refrigerator, such as the compressor, due to it working overtime to compensate for the temperature discrepancies. This can lead to increased energy consumption and potentially costly repairs. Addressing a faulty thermistor promptly is essential for the efficient and safe operation of your refrigerator.
