Roger, You will want to test the temp control switch on the unit. You can do a continuity test and check for air fluff from red to any of the other terminals and there should be no continuity. If there is then the issue will be the temp sensor. The other settings to check is on Delicate, from blue to red and purple to white and there should be continuity. The same test for delicate will be used on medium with the exception you will go to the white with resistor. For regular then blue to Red. If these check ok then the issue would likely be the cycling thermostat.

Jon, Unfortunately the heat selector switch for your unit has been discontinued which means that there is not a suitable replacement for the part. This means that the 33001640 will not work for the unit.

Abdul, You will want to remove the sensor and test across the terminals. If there is any indication other than 0 ohms then the sensor is bad and would need to be replaced. Also test the cycling thermostat to make sure that it is testing good.
