Thermistor
Model Number: MDE5500AYW Brand: Maytag Age: 5 - 10 years
Is the thermistor supposed to show continuity if you test it with a continuity tester? I checked the thermostats and those showed continuity but then the thermistor did not. What is the function of the thermistor?

Replace the thermister. It should have continuity. Tom ********************************************

Yes the dryer thermistor needs to have specific amount of resistance at a given temperature or the EVENHEAT control board will not allow the motor relay to close to keep the dryer running.
Here are the components related to the symptom: EVENHEAT control board Motor relay Thermistor Below is the resistance chart of the thermistor at different temperatures: At 50 degrees Fahrenheit the thermistor should ohm at 19.9 K ohms At 60 degrees 15.3 k ohms 70 degrees 11.9 K ohms 80 degrees 9.2 K ohms 90 degrees 7.4 K ohms 100 degrees 5.7 K ohms 110 degrees 4.7 K ohms 120 degrees 3.7 K ohms 130 degrees 3.1 K ohms 140 degrees 2.5 K ohms
