Thermistor
The thermistor is located inside the turbidity
sensor. The thermistor monitors water
temperature in the tub. If the thermistor opens or
shorts it will cause an error (see Consumer Error
Mode in the Electronic Controls section of this
service guide). If it fails in open or shorted, the
control will default to the longest time algorithm.

To check the thermistor, access the Main Control
(see the Electronic Controls section of this
service guide), check resistance on connector
J806, pin 11, CX to pin 8, NX. The sensor may
also be removed and the two outside terminals
may be checked. Use the table above to
calculate the correct resistance reading.
