Shop Dryer Sensor & Thermistor Parts

Dryer thermistor. This thermistor should read approximately 11.9K Ohms of resistance at 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21’ Celsius). If the thermistor is defective, it may prolong or shorten the drying time or cause a fault code. A defective thermistor is not responsible for a dryer not heating.

Dryer moisture sensor bar. This moisture sensor monitors the clothing’s moisture level and sends a signal to the control board when the clothes are dry. If your moisture sensor is defective, the dryer may shut off too early or continue running for a while after the clothes are dry. Two required.

Dryer thermistor. If the dryer displays a fault code the thermistor may be defective.

Dryer moisture sensor. The moisture sensor monitors the clothing’s moisture level and sends a signal to the control board when the clothes are dry. If your dryer turns off too early or continues running for a while after the clothes are dry, the moisture sensor might be damaged.

Dryer moisture sensor bar. If the dryer timer does not advance properly inspect the moisture sensor bars for damage which can cause the automatic drying cycle to not work properly.

Gas dryer sensor for igniter and flame. The sensor is located across from the gas igniter at the dryer’s burner assembly. This flame sensor should be closed for continuity at room temperature. Check for continuity with a multi-meter before replacing.

Inlet control thermistor.Resistence reading should be around 100K ohms at room temperature and decrease with temperature rise.

Sensor kit

Moisture sensor assembly

Dryer thermistor. This thermistor should read approximately 50,000 (50K) Ohms of resistance at 77 degrees Fahrenheit. *Note that it is not in the heating circuit so it likely will not be the cause of a dryer heating problem. It can however effect cycle times or cause a fault if defective.
