7.4.1 General Characteristics

A Thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance varies significantly with temperature.
The Thermistor measures the temperature of the air in the Dryer so that the Dryer knows its temperature limits.
When a Thermistor fails, it can cause the Dryer to not heat at all or heat up to the wrong temperature.
It is used to check the temperature of air between the blower and exhaust.
