hello,

so after running the dryer during a blizzard, the dryer stopped heating (runs fine though)


dryer did not throw any error codes


checked everything for continuity, everything was fine except the thermistor... it had a reading of infinity

my question is, if the thermistor is bad, then why didnt my dryer throw an error code? (it is supposed to according to the manual)

any thoughts? should i be replacing my control board along with the thermistor? or do i just need a new thermistor.

The ohm reading on the thermistor is higher and won't register on a continuity test. Watch the video below for how to test this part on your dryer. The thermistor will usually throw an error code when it is bad, but not all of the time if the ohm reading is not far enough off. If all of the fuses, thermostats, and heating element are good and the dryer has 240v being supplied to it, then you could have a bad main control board or motor.
