Whirlpool shows thermistor 8577274 (2.6 K ohm) as a substitute for thermistor 3976615 (10 K ohm). How will this substitution affect the operating temperature ranges of the dryer as specified in the test procedures?:confused:

When I look up both parts numbers that you mention at AppliancePartsPros they both come up as 2.6 Kohm.
So looks like the 10 Kohm is not available.
Thermistors are normally negative coefficient, as temperature rises resistance lowers.
So the dryer would run cooler if the two thermistor specifications are at the same temperature.
Looks like the one is 2.6 Kohm at 60 degrees.
Also it makes a difference as to how many ohms of difference is related to each degree of temperature change.
I know this is not much help but it is the best I can do.
If they recommend it then I would go with it as they may have had problems with these units running too hot. |
