Courtney King March 18, 2024 for Model Number GFDN240EL1WW What could cause the inlet control thermistor to go out? We replaced it and our dryer started working perfectly, but only for a couple of days then it went out again. When this happens, our dryer won’t turn on at all. But as soon as we replace the thermistor, it works great. So something is causing this part to keep going out but we have had 0 luck finding the issue beyond this. Please help lol
1 Answer Courtney, Start by checking for a shortage in the circuit, then check the airflow as well. Also, check the thermistor for proper resistance to ensure it is bad. Read More...
Randell Y November 23, 2023 for Model Number WED6200SW1 This Dryer stopped turning on all together and read a error code indicating it needed a thermal fuse and a thermal cutoff. So I replaced those and it is turning and heating again. But it will not adjust temperature according to the settings on the panel (low heat or no heat still has full on hot with heating element never diminishing). I tested the outlet thermistor and it adjusts Ohms down when heated. now it's reading an error code of F25. But that inlet thermostat seems to have continuity. Any suggestions or just try replacing that unit also? Thanks in advance, R
1 Answer Randell Y, Start with a multimeter and check the element, sounds like it may be shorted to ground...check the airflow & vent systems for blockages. Read More...
Francisco July 02, 2023 for Model Number GFDS175GH1DG Dryer turns on starts, runs but won't heat up it will at times but then stop heating, now it just won't heat up. Check continuity on 2 of them which they have. Also check the ohms which both read around 0.02. I checked the 3rd on which according to the diagram is the inlet control thermistor 2 yellow wires. It does not have continuity but it eads 96.0 k ohms. Does it mean the last one is bad since it doesn't have continuity
1 Answer Hello Francisco, at room temperature thermostats should be closed and show continuity, the thermistor ohm value varies by temperature, at room temp it should be around 95-102 k ohms, so it is in range. Read More...
John May 02, 2023 for Model Number gtd45easj2ws I have tested the heating elements for resistance and they are both at 21.8. I also have continuity tested all sensers. And thermostats. The safety, control inlet, thermo hi limit right, and drum outlet. Also replaced the cycle control timmer. I have no heat but it runs just fine. Anything you can do to point me in the right direction I would be forever greatful.
1 Answer John, In the actual motor there is line voltage that goes to the heating element. As the drum motor starts to rotate a centrifugal switch closes and lets L2 go to the element. The motor switch M1 to M2 is the switch we are referring to. Should be the violet wire to the heater. Since everything else has been replaced this is the only option left. WE49X28295 Read More...
Bill March 11, 2023 for Model Number GTD75ECSL0WS When pressing the start button dryer clicks but does not start, ran diagnostics codes and got error 3 (inlet thermistor open) after replacing the control board. Checked the error for door open/shut and no errors.

Molly February 11, 2023 for Model Number GTD72EBPNDG I have a GE dryer that just had the control board replaced. Now when I try to dry my clothes it stops mid cycle, but doesn’t power down, and will restart after a little time. Can you recommend what parts I should look at replacing first? Thanks!
1 Answer Molly, Thanks for asking!!! This sounds like the motor maybe overheating and shutting down. Replacing the motor WE49X28295 should fix the issue. Read More...
Ssahu November 07, 2022 for Model Number GFD45GSSM0WW Hi, I have GE Gas dryer from 2019 and suddently it stopped heating. It runs like normal cycle but there is no heat at all. I already changed igniter and WE4M398 Inlet Control Thermistor. I can see igniter turning on through mirror. Do you think its an issue with Gas Valve and pipe assembly (WE14M114)?
1 Answer Hello SShu, the ignitor should brightly glow for a short time and the heat from it is then detected by the Heat Detector (flame sensor) WE4X448 which opens the circuit to the ignitor and allows full power to the gas valve to open, if the ignitor is just glowing steadily then the detector is faulty.

Russell August 11, 2021 for Model Number GTD84ECSN1WS Start the dryer on any setting and then it runs for a few seconds maybe 5 or so and then it shuts down. Replaced the board, motor and the door switch and it still does it. Any ideas on what to try next? Was throwing the door switch code and I replaced that and it still gave it and replaced the board and that solved that but it still did the issue so we replaced the motor and now here we are.
1 Answer Russell. Based on the model number and the information provided I would check for loose connections and or broken wiring at this point. Read More...
Rgt April 07, 2021 for Model Number DPSE810EG5WT Hi All, My dryer (GE Profile DPSE810EG5WT) stopped blowing hot air. So, I went ahead and tested the continuity of the High Limit Thermostats Part #WE4M160 & WE4M137 (Continuity Exists). Cycling Thermostat (Continuity Exists). Checked the Inlet Control Thermistor - No Continuity & resistance is 106.8 ohms. (Seems to be the issue) Checked the heating element (Continuity Exists) & resistance is 22 ohms. Seems good. Is it safe for me to assume that my issue is the Inlet Control Thermistor? Should it have continuity? Also, a ohms between 118-122 at room temp???? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, RGT
1 Answer RGT, the inlet control thermistor WE4M398 would read a resistance between 98KO to 102KO at a room temperature of around 77°F. For the resistance to read only 106.8O, it would have certainly failed. The outlet thermistor WE04X20685 may need to be checked as well and should measure between 78KO to 82KO at around 86°F, 98KO to 102KO at around 77°F, and 118KO to 122KO at around 69°F. Read More...
Michael Halas January 19, 2021 for Model Number DPSE810EG4WT My dryer won’t run. When I push the start button a relay clicks and the digital timer starts counting down, but nothing else happens. I have checked all of the thermostats and they have continuity. I have jumped the idler switch, to rule it out for now and bench tested the motor and it seems to work on its own. The inlet control thermistor is reading 5.8k ohms, the original outlet control thermistor reads 197k ohms and the replacement that i got reads 145k ohms. The trouble shooting info that was inside the control panel says that the correct resistance values are 118-122k at 69 degrees, but doesn’t specify if that is one or both thermistors. I am probably closer to 58 degrees in the corner of my basement that the dryer is located in. Do you think that replacing the inlet control thermistor should also be replaced to solve this problem or is there something else that I’m not seeing? Thank you for any help you can offer.
1 Answer Michael, The dryer not running would not have anything to do with the control thermistor and the resistance at 58 degrees would most likely be accurate. As for the cause of the dryer not running. Test the door switch to make sure that it is good and if it is then check wiring between the control board, door switch, idler switch, and motor to ensure that there are no loose or damaged wires. If this checks ok then the control board will be the issue. Read More...
