Viking Ice Machine Thermistor

Yes, this is an authentic Viking replacement component designed specifically to meet the manufacturer's original specifications for your ice machine.

You may need a new thermistor if your ice machine is failing to produce ice, experiencing inconsistent ice cube sizes, or showing signs of overheating. These issues often indicate that the sensor is no longer accurately reading or regulating the internal temperature.

The PW300195 is designed for specific Viking models. Please verify your appliance's model number against the compatibility list in your owner's manual or on the product label to ensure it is the correct fit before purchasing.

The thermistor acts as a temperature sensor that monitors the internal environment of the ice machine. It sends data to the control board to regulate cooling cycles, ensuring the unit maintains the precise temperature required for consistent ice production.

While the installation is straightforward for those comfortable with basic appliance repair, it does require accessing the internal components of your ice machine. If you are not familiar with appliance maintenance, we recommend consulting your service manual or hiring a professional technician to ensure the part is installed and calibrated correctly.
