Replace degaussing thermistor in RCA TV

You should be able to use just about any two pin degaussing thermistor from another TV. Andy Cuffe

Pending on the specific RCA Model and Chassis there may be a specific thermistor suggested, however Andy is absolutely correct in posting that almost any two legged degauss thermistor will suffice. <

Call any major electronics parts supplier, or the RCA service rep directly. You can order a new thermo-resistor for your set. Just give them the model number, circuit board location number, and the part description.

I have a 27" RCA TV that a someone gave me to fix and it had a discolored screen...taking a guess that it was the degaussing coil or it's circuit at fault; I found that the thermistor disc? was blackend. I moved it to check if it had a bad solder joint but the darn thing crumbled, now I don't know what to replace it with...It WAS a silver disc no larger than a dime and had two pins...I have junked TV's I could take a thermistor from. Does it have to to a perfect match? Thanks, Johnson

It would sure help if you would give us a model number!!!

its called a PTC (positive Temperature Coefficient )or family of that device. which really means nothing more than it gaining resistance as it heats up via the current passing through it that is energizing the degaussing coil. you should be able to use one from a junker.
