RV Fridge Thermistor Replacement?

Is there a good Thermistor replacement on a Dometic Model# DM2852RBX that isnt gonna be in the $70-$100 range? I've seen some other ones in the $15-$40 range but it doesnt match the fridge model number and I dont really wanna gamble on it even though it looks the same as the original thermistor. 

Thank You!

  • I used one for several years with no trouble at all.  I had to replace the whole refrigerator recently because of the dreaded yellow leak. I never have liked the slider adjustment and it always needed adjusting.  I will get another Snip The Tip when I get fed up with this slider.  The kit has good, simple instructions and has all you need.  I'm not familiar with refrigerators with a set temperture.

  • Try this - no more sliding adjustment but a rotary knob in it's place.  It's great!  I only wish I had placed the control a little more forward, toward the front.  However, once set, it was always right.  Easy installment too.  I'm not affilated with this company, just a satisfied customer.  (It may look odd since this is my 1st post here).

      How has it been working so far? I might have to go with this option since I think that slider thing is kinda pointless but I've read somewhere that this model of fridge is factory set to a certain temp range
