High Limit Thermostat and Thermistor Kit Specifications
This dryer thermistor temperature sensor helps monitor and regulate the temperature inside a dryer. This part includes the wire harness. If your dryer overheats, does not produce enough heat, or takes too long to dry, then the thermistor might be defective or damaged. This can cause a fault code and could begin either prolonging or shortening drying time. As a safety precaution, make sure to unplug the dryer from the power source before beginning this installation, and wear gloves to protect your hands. Refer to the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer for further guidance.

Easy repair, fixed the overheating issue.
The part arrived in 3 days and the repair was super easy. The 4+ year old thermostat was not tripping causing the high temp thermostat to constantly trip. I ended up replacing both thermostats, the moisture sensor bars, and the thermistor since I had the dryer taken apart and one of these was bound to go next.

Cheap and easy fix
I was ready to scrap my LG dryer and buy a new one as my clothes would take forever to dry. When I found this part online and the description sounded exactly like my problem, I decided to give it a try. Thanks to the incredibly helpful, step-by-step video, I was able to easily replace the thermistor in less than an hour and now my clothes are dry in one cycle. Miraculous that this little gizmo could make such a difference.

igniter would not light
Initially replaced igniter. Didn't think it was bad though. Read other suggestions on another website. None were the correct diagnosis for my situation. And when I figured it out they did not offer correct part. The dryer thermistor temp sensor (probe sensor) is what I replaced. Found it on Parts Select. I did replace other parts also. Bu

no heat
To install the repair part took about 5 minutes. It took a couple hours to take apart of put back together. Unfortunately the part I replaced was not the problem. I still have no heat. My own fault for not testing the parts before ordering. It seems there is no ignition of the gas for the hot air flow. I would be grateful for any su

Dryer would turn on but no heat to dry clothing
Unplugged dryer, pled forward to get access to back of dryer. Removed screws, enabling top, front control clip. door panel to be taken off. Lift out drum, replace heater assembly. drum belt, thermistor. Cleaned entire interior and reassembled, working good as new. All parts fit and were a exact match.
I'm not for reading instructions. So I just dove right in and took the dryer apart to get down to the motor. I gave the dryer a thorough cleaning and replaced the 3 parts I ordered from the online recommendation. Wish I would have ordered 2 sensors and the 2 thermostats that are near the burner. Just so replace beings I was in there. Repl
... Read moreacing the parts was easy, found them just by looking for matches to the new parts. Reassembled the dryer, dont think I put a single screw back where I got it lol. And still haven't put the top lid back on due to difficulty. Not sure if I even needed any parts, found a nest in my outside vent completely plugging it. But after a good cleaning and replacing the parts the dryer dries the best it has since we've owned it. The dryer came with our house which we bought 3 years ago and it was 2 years old when we purchased the house, so it is now 5 years old.
I followed video instruction in disassembling and set screws from each section into diferent small bowls in the order they were removed. Hardest part was some of the screws were really hard to get loose without stripping them and my control panel did not match video but I figured it out. Replacing the parts were easy and putting it back
... Read more together. While it was apart I cleaned everything including fan blower wheel. Thanks for the right parts and your online video. With your help and a prayer this 62 year old woman fixed the problem and dryer runs like new.
The customer support received from the this site individual. Was professional and very helpful. The video they recommended want me to the replacement part (Thermistor Ntc) step-by-step thanks to this site I had no problem at all
My cleaning lady brought her handy husband over Saturday to help me. The only tool we used was a Phillips-head screwdriver. I went online earlier in the week and found a good video put out by Repair Clinic and another one I found on You-tube on how to disassemble the dryer. After watching several times, I knew I could do it. We worke
... Read mored together, I cut my hand on the inside edge of the control panel, but, when I hit a snag, we watched that part of the video again and worked right through. Replaced the Thermistor, NTC first, not a problem. Then the Heater Assembly, not too difficult. I couldn't find where one of the remaining parts went, so, we reassembled the dryer and gave it a try. Worked like a charm. We did remove a lot of lint from inside the cabinet and around the felt liner on either end of the drum. It works like it did when it was brand new. Highly recommend to work with someone, so, you don't get frustrated. I am 65 years old and this was a no brainer for me, although I am somewhat mechanically inclined. Very empowering to accomplish this repair. Just follow the video.

How do you test the thermostat
For model number 61423
Hello Cody, thank you for your question. To test the thermostat, you need an ohmmeter. Hold the two probes of the meter, one probe at one terminal of the thermostat and the other probe at the other end of the terminal. If the meter shows infinite or zero resistance it means that the thermostat is bad. We hope this information is useful!

Hello is part AGM30045804 the heating mechanism part for this dryer. Problem is the clothes are not drying the heat is gone. Just making sure this is the right part?
For model number DLG7188RM
Hi Catherine, thank you for the question. The part number you provided is the dryer thermistor temperature sensor, which helps monitor and regulate the temperature inside a dryer. If the dryer is not producing heat, then this part may be defective, and you may need to replace it. However, if it is not faulty, then you may also need to check the blower thermostat, part number PS8747887, the moisture sensor, part number PS3529161, and the gas igniter, part number PS3527801. If any of these parts are faulty, you may need to replace them. We hope this helps!
Hi Paul,
Thank you for your question. This would not be the correct part for your dryer. Your dryer has a thermal fuse, part number PS3530485, a high limit thermostat, part number PS3530482, and a blower thermostat, part number PS8747887. We hope this helps!
