The Thermistor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool gas dryers. It is a temperature-sensitive resistor that monitors the inlet gas temperature coming into the dryer.
Causes can include the degradation of sensor components over time from repeated heating and cooling cycles. Moisture or debris intrusion could also impact functionality.
Symptoms of a bad thermistor include:
- The dryer fails to progress through or complete cycles
- Clothes remain damp even after extended drying
- Gas flow error codes are present
- Burned clothes smell is noticed from failed monitoring
This OEM Whirlpool replacement thermistor ensures accurate temperature readings for safe, optimized dryer operation. Its precise components deliver dependable sensing cycle after cycle.
This part is also compatible with some GE, Crosley, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore electric and gas dryer models. Reliable and efficient drying performance results from an OEM thermistor replacement.
