Answer Safraz, This is a thermistor that you will check resistance on. You should have approximately 10,000 ohms resistance and is used in conjunction with sensor bars.

Bobby for Model Number MDET446AYW

Answer Hello Bobby! Check your venting system and make sure it is not clogged. Try doing a load without the vent hooked up and see if the same issue occurs. It could be due to the thermistor or the element, however, before changing any parts we would recommend testing the unit without the vent. Hope this helps.
