Brent for Model Number Kenmore HE3t Dryer Should the thermistor show continuity? I have tested other electrical components in the dryer and they all have continuity. My thermistor does not show any continuity. I ordered two new different Thermistors off of Amazon (ERP and Whirlpool) and none of them continuity and show 0 OHMs of resistance. I read some reviews where people received bad thermistors. Can anyone confirm if I should be showing some type of resistance? My symptons: My dryer is no longer heating at all and I keep getting Check Lint light before I start a load. It stopped heating all of a sudden. One day it was heating the next day it wasn't.
Answer Hello Brent, The inlet thermistor and the outlet thermistor will normally have different resistance readings. It is impossible to tell what the thermistor reading will be without the model number from the units' I.D. tag. Since this is a Kenmore, we may still not be able to pull a wiring diagram or anything since sears likes to hide their information. I can tell you that when you set the meter to read resistance, if it is not an auto-ranging model, you will need to chose a high scale since it is common for the thermistor to have from 50K to 120K (50,000 to 120,000) ohms of resistance. If you need further assistance, please post the model number so we can give you sound assistance. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, February 5, 2015
