Bill for Model Number DV306LEW/XAA

The thermister in my machine reads 26.4K ohms @ 78 degrees F. Would this account for the dryer running hot and the subsequent burnout of Thermostate 1 (P/N AP4045367)?

Answer

Hello Bill. It could be the issue. The thermistor WP35001191 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit based on the test you performed.
