Does anyone know which other part that I need to order to avoid another blow thermistor? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Derek:confused:

[COLOR="Blue"]I replaced two new thermistor[/COLOR] I am not sure what the above means. Did you replace the thermistor twice with the same result? Sounds like it is a control board problem. The thermistor is getting too much voltage and therefore blowing. I do not know what the voltage should be as they do not publish board schematics. I would check the wiring to the thermistor to be sure that it has not grounded out to the frame. If OK then perhaps check the voltage across the thermistor (pins 2 to 6, they do not give a plug number). I would think it would be between 5 and 20 volts DC. Check it for both DC and AC volts.
