The Control Thermistor is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This component plays a critical role in regulating the temperature inside the dryer by monitoring the internal conditions and sending temperature data to the control board. The control board then uses this information to adjust the heat cycle, ensuring clothes dry evenly and safely. 

Symptoms of a failing control thermistor include:

  • Clothes not drying properly or cycles running too hot or too cold
  • Frequent stopping or starting of the dryer
  • Error messages related to temperature or sensor issues displayed on the control panel

Causes of control thermistor failure generally involve faulty wiring, accumulation of lint and debris affecting the sensor's accuracy, or wear and tear from regular use that leads to degradation of the sensor components.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Michael, The E63 error code is a heater earth to ground. You will want to check the heater coils and connections for short circuits to the cabinet. Replace the heater and/or wiring and retest.

Hello Mark. The control thermistor on your dryer should have a room temperature resistance reading of approximately 50K ohms. If not then the thermistor is faulty and would need to be replaced.

Steve for Model Number LEQ6000ES0

My dryer no longer heats up. I have done some research, and some diagnosis based on the code E5B. My voltage at the block is 240, my voltage at the heating element is the same. I tested the Thermistor next, which reads approx. 15K Ohms at room temperature, indicating that it would need replacement. Logic tells me that if the heating element has 240 volts, that it should heat, unless it's bad. I would think that if the thermistor were bad, there would be no voltage at the element. Is this not correct? I am trying to determine whether I need the thermistor, or the element.

Hello Corey, This can be the coils 5303931775, the gas valve 5303207409, an ignitor 5304517325 breaking down, or it could be a relay issue on the board. The best way to determine this is with an amp meter. If the current is 3.2 to 3.6 amps of current, the issue is most likely the gas valve. If the current is below 3.2 amps, the problem is most likely the ignitor.

Dave, The issue could be the control thermistor being faulty, but you will also want to check the door switch to make sure that it is good.

Tom, Have you disconnected the exhaust vent and checked the vent pipe and vent hood for clogs, obstructions, kinks, twists, etc. You also need to make sure you have 220 - 240 VAC at the terminal block on the back of the dryer. The hi limit thermostat will reset once the dryer temp has dropped to acceptable levels, but it could be weak, especially if you've been operating with a clogged vent for an extended period. and the control thermistor should register 50K ohms across the terminals at room temp.
