FAQs

This thermistor is designed for use with a wide range of dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Inglis. It is a versatile replacement part compatible with most dryers that utilize the listed OEM part numbers.

If your dryer is failing to heat, taking an unusually long time to dry clothes, or shutting off prematurely, the thermistor may be failing. Because the thermistor monitors the internal temperature, a faulty unit can send incorrect signals to the control board, causing the dryer to malfunction or display error codes related to temperature sensing.
The thermistor is typically mounted on the blower housing, often positioned near the thermal fuse. You will need to access the interior of the dryer cabinet to reach this component.
Replacing the thermistor is a straightforward repair that most homeowners can complete in 30 to 60 minutes. You will generally need a screwdriver (often a Phillips or a nut driver) to remove the dryer panels. Always ensure the dryer is unplugged and the gas supply is turned off (if applicable) before beginning any work.
While the thermistor is a common failure point, it is often a good practice to inspect the thermal fuse and the heating element while you have the dryer cabinet open. If your dryer has been overheating or cutting out, checking the vent ducting for lint buildup is also highly recommended to ensure proper airflow, which prevents premature failure of these electrical components.
