SENSOR W10853313

Hello Robert, Thank you for the question. We suggest testing the high limit thermostat and Thermal Fuse in the Thermal Cut-Off Kit located on the Heater Housing with a multi meter. Set your multimeter to the R X 1 setting. Take each of your meter's probes and touch one to each terminal on the Thermal Fuse. You are testing for continuity, and you should receive a reading of either zero or infinity. At room temperature, testing the thermostat should produce a reading of zero. But if a thermostat is tested when it is heated to its limit, a reading of infinity should be produced. We strongly recommend that you test your thermostat at room temperature. If the test you conduct with your thermostat does not produce these results, then you should replace the component. We hope this helps!

Hello Paul, Thank you for your inquiry. This moisture sensor can be tested with a multimeter as well. Ideally, you should get a reading that is significantly above 0. But, if you get a reading that is close to 0 or exactly 0, your moisture sensor might be dead. In this case, you might have to replace it to get the dryer working again. We hope this helps.
