Whirlpool ATE1242SPP0 Thermistor

A very basic thermistor is a special kind of new age resistor that has a varied resistance that is directly proportioned to thermal temperature. The furnace or AC takes the temperature in a few critical areas to know what to do next. They can tell the system control board when a temperature reaches a certain point.
