Washer Sensors

This dryer thermistor is a genuine replacement component designed to monitor and regulate internal temperature in Whirlpool dryers. Mounted on the blower housing, it plays a critical role in controlling the heating element by adjusting resistance as temperatures rise, signaling the control board to maintain safe and efficient drying conditions. A malfunctioning thermistor can result in symptoms such as no heat, overheating, premature cycle termination, or failure to start. It may also trigger fault codes like F-22, F-23, E1, or E2. Replacing the thermistor restores proper temperature regulation, protects the appliance from damage, and improves drying performance. Installation should be performed with the dryer unplugged and may require basic tools.

The sensor controls the temperature in your dryer and will turn off once your clothes have reached the desired dryness level. If you notice that your dryer is not giving off enough heat to dry the clothes or is taking too long to dry, this may indicate that a repair to the senor is required. To access this part, you will need to remove the front bulk head. To remove this, you will need to remove the screws securing the top. Uninstall the screws that support the control panel and lift. Remove screws holding the support bracket in place so you can detach this piece. Detach the wire harness and remove the wire, then set the bracket aside. You will now open the dryer door and release it by taking out the bottom two screws. Disconnect the wire harness and moisture sensor wire harness, remove screws from front bulk head, and remove screws that secure the duct housing. You should be able to completely remove the bulk head. You will find the sensor underneath the lint filter grill, which will also need to be removed.
