Most importantly, be sure you have the correct replacement thermistor by checking the part number in the manual for your make and model of dryer. It’s best to have all your tools before the repair begins so you don’t have to stop in the middle to find something. Next, gather all the supplies you will need for this repair. Make sure your dryer is unplugged or flip the fuse that powers the dryer, whichever is easiest for you. The thermistor is an electronic part inside the dryer housing, so you will want to be safe from sparks and shocks during this repair. The first thing you need to do for almost any dryer repair is to unplug your dryer. However, if you have already determined that the problem is with your dryer thermistor, one of the sets of temperature sensors, then this guide will help you replace the broken thermistor and repair your dryer’s heating capabilities. There are a few different reasons why your dryer is no longer heating including two or three different thermometers and the heating element itself. Either way, you’re stuck hanging clothes to dry until your dryer works again. Some dryers can detect there is something wrong and will display an error code, some will keep on tumbling cold until the dryer owner does something to fix the problem. A dryer that has stopped heating is a real problem, as clothes stop getting dry and simply tumble cold and damp for an hour.

This repair will work with the Kenmore brand family of dryers including Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, and GE dryers, provided that yours is a model with an access panel in the bottom front of your dryer with a lint assembly in the door rather than the top.
