FAQs

This thermistor is designed for use in a wide range of dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Inglis. It is a standard component for many models produced under these brands that utilize this specific sensor configuration.
This part replaces OEM numbers 8577274, WP8577274, 3976615, 3390292, 3406294, 772546, WP8577274VP, and AP6013514.
A faulty thermistor often causes the dryer to fail to heat, shut off prematurely, or run continuously without stopping. You may also see error codes on your control panel or notice that the dryer is not maintaining a consistent temperature during the cycle.
The thermistor is typically located on the blower housing, usually positioned right next to the thermal fuse. Installation is generally straightforward and can be completed in about 30 to 45 minutes. You will primarily need a screwdriver to remove the dryer panels and a pair of needle-nose pliers to disconnect the wire harness.
It is common practice to inspect the thermal fuse (part 3392519) while you have the dryer housing open. If your dryer is not heating at all, the thermal fuse is often the culprit, and replacing both components at the same time can save you from having to open the unit again in the near future.
The thermistor acts as a temperature sensor that monitors the internal heat of the dryer. It sends continuous feedback to the electronic control board, which then regulates the heating element to ensure your clothes are dried at the correct temperature without overheating.
