3. Place the tip of a flat-bladed screwdriver
in the slot of the freezer thermistor cover,
then move the screwdriver handle to the
left to release the locking tab, and pull
out on the left side of the cover to release
if from the evaporator cover.
4. Unclip the freezer thermistor from the
clips in the cover, and remove the therm-
istor.
5. Cut the freezer thermistor wires near the
body.
6. Splice the ends of the wires from the re-
placement thermistor, to the ends of the
wires you cut from the old thermistor in
the previous step. NOTE: Trim the wire
lengths, as necessary, so that they fit neatly
into place when the thermistor cover is rein-
stalled.
