Thanks, Jeff

BTW as long as I had the back off I pulled the lint screen housing / fan housing there was a ton of dirt and dog hair in the bottom around the fan. I was not going to because the vent had strong output so ther was no reason to suspect any blockage, but I'm gald I did now.

I get a diagnostic code of "02" which is "Thermistor Open Sensed". With the wires diconnected what ohm reading should I get across the thermister? Model #MDG5500AWW Serial # 42774934AL Thanks in advance Scooots...
