134587700 Frigidaire Dryer Control Thermistor

Dryer Control Thermistor.
Frigidaire's product lineup includes brands such as Electrolux and they also manufacture items for Sears-Kenmore. The Control Thermistor serves as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part suitable for use in Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore dryers. This electrical device helps control the temperature within the dryer drum by acting similar to a thermostat, ensuring the temperature remains within a safe range and prevents the machine from overheating.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning thermistor are issues such as the dryer failing to heat properly, overheating, stopping too soon, or not completing its drying cycle. Should you encounter any of these problems, it's advisable to test the thermistor using a multimeter. A properly functioning thermistor should show a resistance of about 50k ohms at room temperature.

To avoid disruption in your laundry routine, consider replacing a defective thermistor promptly with this dependable OEM part.
