Dryer Inlet Thermistor Overview:
The Inlet Thermistor is a genuine OEM part designed for Frigidaire dryers, also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, and Sears-Kenmore brands. This component plays a crucial role in monitoring the air temperature entering the dryer to ensure efficient operation and to prevent overheating.

When an inlet thermistor malfunctions, it may be due to electrical problems, sensor malfunctions, or damage from excessive heat or moisture. Common indicators of a defective thermistor include inadequate drying of clothes, the dryer overheating, or the dryer stopping before the clothes are dry.

Potential signs of a faulty inlet thermistor are:
- Clothes remain damp after a normal drying cycle
- Excessive heat during operation
- Premature shutdown of the dryer

To address these issues, replacing the faulty inlet thermistor with a new OEM part is recommended. This replacement part is suitable for use in various models from Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore, ensuring compatibility and restoring the dryer's functionality.
