FAQs

This thermistor is designed for use in a wide range of dryers manufactured by Frigidaire, Kenmore, and Electrolux. It is a direct replacement for OEM part number 134587700.
This part replaces OEM numbers 134587700, 1156925, 134216500, AP3866842, and PS1149368.
If your dryer is failing to heat, taking significantly longer than usual to dry clothes, or shutting off prematurely, the thermistor may be faulty. Because this component regulates the internal temperature, a failure often results in the dryer's control board receiving incorrect data, which can cause the heating element to cycle off incorrectly or prevent it from turning on at all.
The thermistor is located within the blower housing of the dryer. Installation is generally considered a moderate repair. You will need basic hand tools, such as a screwdriver and a nut driver, to access the housing. Always ensure the dryer is unplugged from the power source before beginning any work.
This thermistor is rated at 10K Ohms of resistance at room temperature. If you are testing the part with a multimeter, you should see a reading near this value; a reading of zero or infinity typically indicates a failed component that requires replacement.
Since you are already accessing the blower housing, it is a good time to inspect the area for lint buildup. Restricted airflow is a common cause of dryer performance issues and can put unnecessary strain on both the thermistor and the thermal fuse. Cleaning the housing and checking the exhaust vent for blockages will help ensure the new part functions correctly.
