John for Model Number WED6200SW1 My whirlpool dryer continues to overheat, I have checked the lint screen cleaned out the duct to the blower wheel, the wheel and up to the vent. I have replaced the heating element the hi cut off fuse, thermostat. And run a continuity test on the thermistor which continues to rise could that be the problem? If not where do I go from here?
Answer John, When testing the thermistor, you will want to check at room temperature which at 77 degrees should be around 49k to 51K ohms on the inlet thermistor and 8.5k to 10.5k ohms on the exhaust thermistor. When the unit is running an you test the thermistor the resistance should go down. If the resistance is rising then the issue would be with the thermistor. Read More...
