Push-in.

This fixed-value resistor is an electrical component used in select dryers to limit current in a specific control circuit. It helps the timer or electronic control operate correctly by dropping voltage to safe, design-intended levels.

• Supports proper operation of the timer, control board, or end-of-cycle signal (varies by model)
• Failure may present as a timer that won't advance, an inoperative signal/buzzer, or irregular cycle behavior
• Replace if visibly burned/damaged or if testing shows an open or shorted condition

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the console/wiring harness and note original wire routing
• Make secure, insulated connections and route the resistor/leads exactly as original to avoid heat or chafing
• After installation, run a test cycle to ensure proper operation of the affected function
