Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a fixing unit, a temperature sensor including an element in which a resistance value increases as a temperature decreases and configured to detect a temperature of the fixing unit, a connector configured to transmit an output signal of the temperature sensor, a control unit disposed on a side opposed to the temperature sensor with respect to the connector and configured to control the temperature of the fixing unit based on the output signal of the temperature sensor, a resistor disposed on the same side of the temperature sensor with respect to the connector and connected to the temperature sensor in parallel, and a power source disposed on the side opposed to the temperature sensor with respect to the connector and configured to supply currents to the temperature sensor and the resistor via the connector.
