Inlet Thermistor
The inlet thermistor is located on the top left side
of the heater housing on electric models and on
the top right side of the housing on gas models.
The inlet thermistor measures the inlet air
temperature and will respond to temperature
changes of 3 °F. The inlet thermistor provides
temperature change information to the electronic
control board. The electronic control board makes
heating decisions based on this information. The
thermistor's resistance has a negative coefficient,
as the temperature increases, the thermistor's
resistance decreases.
To check thermistor resistance, refer to the
thermistor resistance chart.
To remove the thermistor:
1. Remove the top panel, the front panel, and the
drum. (See Top Panel, Front Panel and
Drum.)
2. Disconnect the lead wires to the thermistor.
3. Remove 1 screw and the thermistor.
Inlet Safety Thermostat
An inlet safety thermostat is located on the left side
of the heater housing on electric dryer models, and
on the right side of the housing on gas dryer
models. The electric model has an L210-30 °F
rating and the gas model has an L300-40 °F rating.
The inlet thermostat is wired in series with the
outlet control thermostat. If the thermostat
reaches 210 °F on electric models or 300 °F on
gas models, it will open the L1 side of the heater or
gas valve circuit, interrupting heater or gas valve
operation. The thermostat will close when it has
cooled to 180 °F on electric models and 260 °F on
gas models, restoring heater operation.
To remove the inlet safety thermostat:
1. Remove the top panel, the front panel, and the
drum. (See Top Panel, Front Panel
and Drum.)
2. Disconnect the thermostat wiring.
3. Remove 1 screw and the thermostat.
