Rod May 27, 2014 for Model Number MCE8000AYN I'm confused with the part numbers listed. the second photo of this part clearly shows the identical part number I'm looking for; #53-4281 -- its printed on the part! No where can I find this part number cross referenced. On a second similar sensor that reads a multimeter resistance of 1.0, hence its dead, I have the part number #53-4513, I'd like to replace that as well. Can you help me find it? I believe it may be for the steam Thermistor, The maytag model number of the dryer is a maytag: MCE8000AYN. Thanks.
1 Answer Rod, # 53-4281 is the thermistor is part number WP31001590 and # 53-4513 thermistor part number 31001716. Thanks. Read More...
Russ July 16, 2013 for Model Number ned7200yw I had two dryer repair technicians look at my dryer and tell me wrong issues. the first one said that the problem was the heating element but it was not, and the 2nd one stated that it was the electronic control and it was not. I finally took the face and rear off, did a continuity check on all the parts and found that the thermistor did not move. Is it possible that this part could make the heat dysfunctional?
Safraz Y March 06, 2013 for Model Number maytag gas dryer modle #mdg4806aww My dryer was taking very long to heat up, so i open the unit up and started checking all the fuses and sensors etc. I replace the gas valve coils and it heated up right away. But I got no continunity on the thermistor, so I order a new one part# 31001590. When I got it I check it but got no continunity also on the new one. Do I need to add heat with a blow dryer and then check it for continunity or did I get a new bad thermistor? Is a no or a nc part and what does the part really does? pls help
1 Answer Safraz, This is a thermistor that you will check resistance on. You should have approximately 10,000 ohms resistance and is used in conjunction with sensor bars. Read More...
Tom February 12, 2013 for Model Number mde4806ayw What is the proper resistance for the thermistor? (Not the thermal fuse as previously answered) Mine reads 12.74 kohms. Good or bad?
1 Answer Hello Tom. Should read 10K at room temp. If it is 12.74K, at room temp, it is bad. Read More...

1 Answer John If you are getting no continuity through the thermistor this means that it is bad and needs to be replaced. Read More...
Froggy November 13, 2012 for Model Number mde4806ayw Is the thermistor a NO or NC switch? Tested mine using meter but is not reading.
1 Answer Hello Froggy, The thermal fuse should always read as a closed circuit. If it is open then it is bad. Read More...

Bobby April 29, 2011 for Model Number MDET446AYW When I turn on my dryer on it cuts off, it gets too hot. Is this due to the thermistor or the element?
1 Answer Hello Bobby! Check your venting system and make sure it is not clogged. Try doing a load without the vent hooked up and see if the same issue occurs. It could be due to the thermistor or the element, however, before changing any parts we would recommend testing the unit without the vent. Hope this helps. Read More...
