Description

This inlet thermistor monitors the incoming air temperature so your dryer can heat accurately and protect fabrics. A failing thermistor can cause temperature control issues that lead to poor drying performance or overheating.
  • Senses inlet air temperature and signals the control to regulate heat
  • May cause long dry times, clothes not drying, or overheating/shutting off if faulty
  • Can trigger erratic temperature cycling or error codes on some models
What's included: 1 inlet thermistor with attached wiring leads/connector (as pictured) Install notes:
  • Unplug dryer before service; gas models: also shut off gas supply
  • Typically mounted on the blower housing or air inlet duct; access by removing the lower/front panel
  • Note wire routing and connector orientation before removal
  • After installation, run a test cycle to verify proper heating and airflow
