Inlet air - Thermistor element (PT100 sensor)

Function
The thermistor element measures the temperature of the heated air entering the drum.
The resistance of this device is normally 110 Ohms at 20°C (68°F) and increases as the
temperature rises.
The signal is returned to the PCB and this ensures that the inlet air does not become
excessively hot, thus preventing scorching of garments.
Replacement
Electric and gas heated dryer, fig. 1.
The element A is located in the top of the heating unit.
Fig 1. Remove the back plate. Element A can now be replaced.
