Hold a glass bulb thermometer capable of
reading from 90° to 180°F (32° to 82°C)
in the center of the exhaust outlet. The
correct exhaust temperatures are as fol-
lows:

Medium

Low

Extra Low
105°±5° (41°±3°)
* The measured overshoot using the glass
bulb thermometer in the exhaust outlet can
be 30°F (17°C) higher.
5. If the exhaust temperature is not within
specified limits, remove the P14 connec-
tor, then measure the resistance between
P14-3 (red-white wire) and P14-6 (red-
white wire) at the connector. See Figure
17, for connector location; and Accessing
& Removing the Electronic Assemblies.
NOTE: All thermistor resistance mea-
surements must be made while dryer is
disconnected from power.
The following table gives temperatures
and ranges for the associated thermistor
resistance values.

• If the thermistor resistance does not
agree with table, replace the exhaust
thermistor.
• If the thermistor resistance checks
agree with the measurements in the
table, replace the machine control
electronics.

TEST #4b Thermal Fuse
The thermal fuse is wired in series with the
dryer drive motor.
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Access the thermal fuse by first removing
the front panel. See Removing the Front
Panel/Drum Assembly, and for thermal
fuse location see Figure 11.
3. Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity
across the thermal fuse.
• If the ohmmeter indicates an open cir-
cuit, replace the failed thermal fuse.
TEST #4c Thermal Cut-Off
If the dryer does not produce heat, check the
status of the thermal cut-off.
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Access the thermal cut-off by first remov-
ing the front panel and drum assembly.
See Removing the Front Panel/Drum As-
sembly.
3. Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity
across the thermal cut-off. See Figure 11
for location.
• If the ohmmeter indicates an open cir-
cuit, replace the failed thermal cut-off
and high limit thermostat. In addition,
check for blocked or improper exhaust
system, or failed heat element.
