The internal-bias thermostat, also know as a thermistor, is used to prevent the dryer from overheating. It does this by monitoring and controlling the temperature of the inside of the dryer drum. If your dryer is overheating, not drying your clothes properly, or is not providing enough heat, there could be an issue with the thermostat. You can test the part by using a multimeter, which should read 10,000 ohms of resistance at room temperature, give or take a 10 percent fluctuation. If your reading is not in that range, the thermistor will need to be replaced. Replacing this part is a simple repair, but to access it you will need to lift the main top on your dryer, and remove both the front panel and the bulkhead. The part is found next to the thermal fuse, on the blower housing. Be sure to disconnect the power supply to your dryer before beginning this repair. This is a genuine OEM thermistor, made of white plastic and is sold individually.

This genuine OEM sensor is also known as a moisture sensor or a humidity sensor. It is found underneath the lint filter in your dryer, and is used to detect the amount of moisture present in the drum. This is to prevent the dryer from running longer than necessary, and will shut off once your laundry has been sufficiently dried. If your dryer is shutting off too soon, or it is running excessively long, there may be an issue with the sensor and it should be replaced. Before beginning this repair, please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your dryer. If your dryer has two moisture sensors, we recommend replacing both at the same time to ensure even wear.

The motor rotor position sensor monitors the direction and speed of the spinning rotor and communicates this information to the electronic control board. If your washer is displaying an LE error code on your control display, the sensor has failed and will need to be replaced. This is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. Please remember to disconnect the power to your washer before starting your repair.
