Rgt for Model Number DPSE810EG5WT

Hi All, My dryer (GE Profile DPSE810EG5WT) stopped blowing hot air. So, I went ahead and tested the continuity of the High Limit Thermostats Part #WE4M160 & WE4M137 (Continuity Exists). Cycling Thermostat (Continuity Exists). Checked the Inlet Control Thermistor - No Continuity & resistance is 106.8 ohms. (Seems to be the issue) Checked the heating element (Continuity Exists) & resistance is 22 ohms. Seems good. Is it safe for me to assume that my issue is the Inlet Control Thermistor? Should it have continuity? Also, a ohms between 118-122 at room temp???? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, RGT

Answer

RGT, the inlet control thermistor WE4M398 would read a resistance between 98KO to 102KO at a room temperature of around 77°F. For the resistance to read only 106.8O, it would have certainly failed. The outlet thermistor WE04X20685 may need to be checked as well and should measure between 78KO to 82KO at around 86°F, 98KO to 102KO at around 77°F, and 118KO to 122KO at around 69°F.
