I have read the other post and tested the inverter. My blower motor wants to move and moves very slowly in both directions for a sec or two. So my question are:

1. Is it the blower motor or is it one of the Thermistor assembly?
2. Is it worth replacing all three componets, motor and both thermistor?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like a bad blower motor. Here is a link to a forum page that will answer alot of your questions. By what your saying, the way it is working points to the motor. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros...drying-blower-motor.html

Jeff,

Is it worth replacing both the #272 Thermistor assembly Part Number: AP3794646 and # 471 Thermistor assembly Part Number: AP3794837?
Let me know thanks.

You can test the thermistors, they should ohm out around 10,000 ohms at room temperature. If they test good, I would just change the motor.
