WP35001191 Whirlpool Thermistor for Dryer

Thermistor for Dryer.

Whirlpool's range of brands includes Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The thermistor serves as an essential OEM replacement part for various Whirlpool clothes dryers. Its primary function is to monitor the internal temperatures of the dryer and relay this information to the control module. By detecting changes in temperature via its resistance, the thermistor helps manage the heating cycles effectively.

Common issues with a malfunctioning thermistor in dryers can stem from wear and tear on electronic components over time. Other potential causes of failure include exposure to moisture, physical impacts, or excessive heat.

A faulty thermistor may present several signs, such as:

- Interior temperatures that are unstable or vary unexpectedly
- Extended or overly frequent heating or cooling cycles
- Challenges in achieving or maintaining set temperatures

This OEM part is also suitable for use with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

Addressing these issues, the thermistor replacement can help resolve problems where the dryer shuts off prematurely.
