4% of the time Thermistor

E 1 error code

Ordered thermister after watching YouTube video. Part arrived in just 2 days. Repair went just as depicted on video. Easy fix. Hoping it corrects the problem.

No heat

Had a power failure when dryer was being used. Dryer was still running but not heating. Used a multimeter to discover that there was no continuity in this part. Ordered the part and received it within 48hrs. Took less than 2 min to replace the part. Praise the Lord, it now works like a charm!

My Cabrio dryer was not getting hot to dry clothes

Per Assistance from AppliancePartsPros I was able to get the Thermister part now my Dryer works great!

No heat with clothes dryer

I watched a couple of YouTube videos on what to do when your dryer won't heat, I then went online to AppliancePartsPros.com, Ordered the parts, installed them, it worked and now I am a hero in my Wife's eyes. Feels great. The service and support I received from AppliancePartsPros.com was absolutely outstanding! Best online experience ever. I can't wait for another appliance to fail and I get to be a hero again (not really). Thanks.

Cycle finished before drying or dryer got too hot!

Replaced the thermistor. Actual time taken was more related to getting bolts back in than anything else. Actual repair was easy with right tools and the how-to videos are outstanding. I am not the handiest person but, with the help of Appliancepartspros.com, I have now fixed both my washer and dryer myself at a much lower cost than calling back the authorized repair guy (who couldn’t fix it for me last time!). I paid less for parts than the cost of a service call. Love this site.

The Thermistor is an OEM part for Whirlpool brand dryers. It is a temperature-sensing resistor that monitors air temperature changes during the drying cycle. The thermistor provides feedback to the control board on heating element performance and internal air condition. 

Symptoms of a failed thermistor include:

  • Inaccurate temperature readings and selections  
  • Improper or incomplete drying
  • Safety issues from overheating due to lack of feedback
  • Error codes displayed on the control panel

Causes can be related to normal wear and environmental exposure over time. Failure prevents the dryer from achieving optimal drying conditions.

This genuine Whirlpool thermistor replacement restores precise air temperature monitoring. It ensures the control board receives accurate input to effectively regulate heating levels. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Terminal and Wire Kit

Fried terminal block

My daughter moved into a new home. During the move the dryer cord terminal screws somehow went missing and her brother in law substituted regular screws that worked but did not make a secure connection. Eventually after a power outage when power was restored the power surge was more than the substitute screws could handle and it melted some wires. The kit that I ordered made a safe and a properly secured repair. Suzanne took the order and was a tremendous help in getting the correct repair part. Excellent technical and customer support by Suzanne!

The power cord melted and needed to replace parts.

I opened the dryer because it wouldn’t start and that’s when I noticed the problem. I went online order the parts I needed. It was easy to replace but was nervous to do it. When I turn on the dryer it worked.

Moisture Sensor Bar

Dryer stopped drying much too soon.

Purchased set of humidity sensors. Very easy install. Ordered before 4 pm and received around noon next day. Unbelievable fast !

Dryer was shutting off before clothes were totally dry

Looked at repair manual that was inside the bottom of dryer (intended for technician). Followed a few simple test instructions for that problem and it said the moisture sensor bar was not working. $7 part. It has two bars so we replaced both. Parts came in a couple days. Simple installation. Dryer working like new for about $25 w/shipping.

Whirlpool duet dryer moisture sensor

I watched the video which was explicit and straight forward about how to do the repair. Just be careful when you unhook the two wires as they want to fall down into the space which has very little access. I was able to remove the inner filter cover and use a piece of wire to retrieve the wires and plugs so not too bad after all. If I had to do it over I would not remove both plugs just the black wire, remove the sensor and replace it,re-attach the black wire and finish mounting the filter frame.

Moisture sensor bars went bad

I stumbled across appliance parts prod by accident and I'm happy I did. I love that they had a video attached to the past I needed detailing the diy repair. Great idea and saved me money. Thanks guys

Dryer would signal clothes were dry prematurely

Looked on the Internet and learned that the dryer had moisture sensors that sometimes went bad. Found the parts at appliance parts pros.com. Was pleasantly surprised with how quickly the parts arrived. Ordered on Thursday and the parts delivered the very next day using their standard shipping. Outstanding service! And the parts fit perfectly. Now my dryer works like it used to 15 years ago.

The Moisture Sensor Bar is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is a component located inside the dryer drum that senses the moisture level of clothes during tumble drying cycles. The moisture sensor bar utilizes sensors or probes to gauge how dry clothes are getting and signals the dryer to shut off once clothes reach the desired dryness level selected by the user.

Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor bar include:

  • Dryer failing to shut off automatically at the end of cycles, leaving clothes over-dried
  • Cycles taking excessively long to complete 
  • Dryer not sensing moisture levels properly to allow automatic ending of cycles

Causes of a faulty moisture sensor bar are usually due to normal wear and tear over time. Dust or lint buildup can also affect its ability to provide accurate readings.

This OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. 

Dryer Repair Kit (27 Inch Wide Dryers, Thin Twins)

Dryer making a squeaking noise

Appliances Parts Pros checked for my problem and sold me on the parts to replace, ordered parts, installed, dryer works like a charm. Thank you Appliance Parts Pros Another satisfied customer Pete B.

Faulty idler pulley.

Used this kit to replace the pulley and the other parts since I had it apart. Great video instructions made it easy!

Dryer very noisy, a bushing came loose from one of the rear support rollers

I bought a rebuild kit to replace all 4 support rollers, the idler pulley and the belt. All parts were direct replacements for the originals except the belt. The belt was smaller than the original. I tried for quite a while to get it on but had to put the original back on. It was still in good shape anyway. Dryer runs quiet and smooth. By doing it myself I probably saved myself 150.00 dollars easily.

Dryer was making a grating noise

Ordered the parts from appliance parts pros and they were delivered promptly. I am a total novice but was able to disassemble dryer and determine and correct source of problem!

Dryer squealed loudly after a short time running.

Ultimately found the tensioner wheel was not turning freely. Originally assumed it was a worn belt but decided to order the belt and wheel kit. Searched YouTube for how to videos to get an idea on how difficult the repair would be. Found a video that was very similar to my unit. It took about 90 minutes to disassemble, replace parts and re assemble. Because the kit comes with new retainer clips, it is faster and easier to just cut the old clips off with some side cutters. Also have the vacuum ready as the unit will be full of lint that should be removed while you have the unit opened up.

Dryer rollers squeaking

I purchased a dryer repair kit that had the rollers, roller keepers and drum belt. I followed some YouTube instruction videos on how to make the repair and everything worked just fine. No more squeak. The best part was my one day delivery service of my parts kit. No issues and I received my parts just fine.
