Michael Halas for Model Number DPSE810EG4WT My dryer won’t run. When I push the start button a relay clicks and the digital timer starts counting down, but nothing else happens. I have checked all of the thermostats and they have continuity. I have jumped the idler switch, to rule it out for now and bench tested the motor and it seems to work on its own. The inlet control thermistor is reading 5.8k ohms, the original outlet control thermistor reads 197k ohms and the replacement that i got reads 145k ohms. The trouble shooting info that was inside the control panel says that the correct resistance values are 118-122k at 69 degrees, but doesn’t specify if that is one or both thermistors. I am probably closer to 58 degrees in the corner of my basement that the dryer is located in. Do you think that replacing the inlet control thermistor should also be replaced to solve this problem or is there something else that I’m not seeing? Thank you for any help you can offer.
Answer Michael, The dryer not running would not have anything to do with the control thermistor and the resistance at 58 degrees would most likely be accurate. As for the cause of the dryer not running. Test the door switch to make sure that it is good and if it is then check wiring between the control board, door switch, idler switch, and motor to ensure that there are no loose or damaged wires. If this checks ok then the control board will be the issue. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, January 20, 2021
