Description

This resistor for the fabric selector switch controls the dryer's moisture/dryness sensing circuit so the dryer can select the correct heat level for different fabric types. It helps restore proper selector function for consistent drying results. What it does:

• Provides the correct resistance values to the fabric selector so the dryer chooses appropriate heat for cotton, permanent press, delicate settings
• Restores selector responsiveness when a worn resistor causes incorrect or no heat selection
• Works as part of the dryer control circuit that affects cycle dryness and temperature regulation
• Replaces a damaged or open resistor causing intermittent or failed selector operation

What's included:

• Resistor for fabric selector switch

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing the dryer control panel or console—keep screws and fasteners organized
• Handle the resistor and wiring gently; avoid bending contacts or pulling on wires
