How To Test Thermistor Part # DC32-00007A & WP35001191
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 гру 2014
- This thermistor is used on many Samsung model dryers and some Maytag Neptune, Amana, and Kenmore model dryers. When this thermistor fails it can cause your dryer to stop running and display a tS (t5) error code or a t0 (tO) error code. If you are receiving either of these error codes you should test the thermistor.

Thank you for being very clear with your multimeter settings and instructions as other videos by others seem to miss this important piece of info. Thank the powers that be that I found your video giving me the proper 20k setting on the multimeter.
Your video was the first to come up in my search. I thought I was supposed to check for continuity like I did with the thermostats when I was told by another repair website to check for resistance. I'm glad I found this as it saved me from ordering this part that was actually good! I didn't know how to do this until now. I'm pretty new to electrical testing knowledge. Thanks for this!
We are glad you found this video helpful!
Yes Sir! Thanks for the correct ohms setting (20k) to do the test! You made all the difference in my readings with your concise information
We are glad you found it helpful! 🙂
Same here.
Very informative video. I really appreciate the chart showing the different ohm readings with the corresponding temps. Thank you.
You're welcome! We are glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the mentioning correct ohms setting for the multimeter. and the temp chart. It was very helpful.
We are glad you found it helpful!
thanks,finally a vd with testing stats . diff between all the thermos and what they do?
The video starts showing a Fluke meter, you got me sold brother! 🤣
Good deal! Always use the best!
Thanks for this! I was testing for continuity and no beep, so I thought this part was bad. When I tested it your way, it gave a good ohm reading around 10.3. Now I can put my dryer back together and not waste money on a part and days on arrival.
We are glad you found it helpful!
Subscribed! 👍 Very helpful, thank you!
XxTheTimeIsNOWxX I am glad we could help!
I got kenmore elite washer, it got 3 beeps when I press start, but when I
press again it's fine, wash seems fine...what's wrong is it themistor?
This is very helpful, websites are selling the Maytag part over twice the price as the Samsung one. I'm guessing since they're both 10k and look exactly the same, my Amana won't know it has a Samsung part it it.
William Decoteau Whirlpool part # 35001191 & Samsung DC32-00007A can both be used interchangeably. Currently the Samsung one is quite a bit cheaper than the Whirlpool. Make sure to verify the thermistor part number using the model number of the dryer as not all Amana dryers use this thermistor. partsdr.com/part/dc32-00007a-thermistor/
Thanks, it uses the 35001191.
William Decoteau Great, then you will be fine to use Samsung part # DC32-00007A for the replacement.
Great video! It has been a long time since I used a multimeter.
I tested the thermistor for my Maytag Neptune and got a reading of 7.3Ohms at about 80F ambient temperature. Does 1 or 2 ohms make a significant enough difference? The dryer gives me a code that says "Thermistor Open Sensed". Thanks!
+Brian Dilley You will need to look up the exact specs for the thermistor that you are measuring. In most cases the manufacture will give you a ohm specification for a thermistor and it will need to be within a certain percentage of that reading to be considered good/bad.
What happens if you live in a hotter climant area? Wouldn't the sensor gives a lower reading?
Would the Thermistor case the cloths to take longer to dry. Is a Thermistor good or bad, I have never had a error code.
thank you so much for details on the ohm values to expect, I wouldn't have known that the 1K reading I got was out of range otherwise. Funny though, I didn't get any error codes on my dryer
Glad you found this. Most dryers will only throw an error code for an open or shorted thermistor.
Anything above 10K ohms is bad? I am trying to find out if My Frigidaire Dryer thermistor is bad. Some sites say 50K is normalIm getting 52K. Im confused here
I checked my thermistor on 20k ohm setting and I'm getting .096 ohms? Assuming it's bad. I just replaced this a week ago having a he code which says vent clogged or thermistor. Vent is clean. Why did it only last a week?
Great video. Thanks for the upload.
how can i find out if the parts is good i have samsung dryer parts number DC32-00007A
My white thermal fuse next to my thermistor is blown, and dryer vent wasn't clogged nor was there lint blockage on the inside if the blower duct. My thermistor is reading around 12k at room temp (74 degrees), so that means the thermistor is bad, correct? Thanks
Sir i have ntc 5d-11how to check it working or not
My repair man told me it was a bad part after doing a continuity check... No beeps. I tested after he left and I had no continuity either, but 10.5-10.75 ohm reading. I wonder if he just didnt know, if he was scaming me, or if im just not understanding correctly ...but im getting rhe reading I should for my room temperature. Insightful and pleasantly concise video, thank u!
I KNOW the heating element is burnt out, but I wonder if the thermistor is actually working just fine 🧐🙄
It sounds like the thermistor was not bad from what you are saying.
Hello. Our GE dryer (GFD85ESPN0DG) just stopped working, no display either. We suspected the thermistor and did the multi meter check, there seems to be no continuity of power through that. So do we conclude that the thermistor has gone bad and replace? The part no. on thermistor says 76j1hdx0007 - THERM-O-DISC. Please advise.
Good one ..
The thermistor for my Maytag dryer model MDE10 is discontinued without replacement. Can I use some other manufacturer's thermistor with similar settings and how do I know which will work?
If you could find the manufactures specifications for the thermistor and you could find another that matches identically, then you could use that in place of it. The difficult thing is that the manufactures don't always publish that information.
So I have this thermistor, which I tested with a similar ohmmeter, and I wasn't getting any reading or beeps at all. I just got the new one in the mail, and this one also gives no reading or beeps. Is it possible I have two faulty thermistors including the new one?
It sounds like you might not have the meter set to the correct setting. The setting where the meter beeps is the continuity setting and that won't work for testing this part as the ohm value is too high to register on a continuity test.
When i checked the thermistor for my samsung dryer it reads 8.76... I'm not sure how much difference this is from 10.26. Should it be replaced? Your help is greatly appreciated thank you.
It is off far enough that it would be a good idea to replace it. It probably isn't off far enough to stop the drying from running or throwing an error code.
I have a Hotpoint Ultima condensing dryer that wont get hot. Thermostats and element have complete circuits. The thermistor resistance is coming in at 107k. According to your video I need a new one. Is the resistance the same for all makes of dryer?
No it is not the same for all makes of dryers. You will need to find the specifications for your specific thermistor in your model dryer.
@@PartsDr If I do a continuity test on the thermistor the circuit is open at room temperature. Does that prove it is faulty?
@@tanz8151 No, you cannot do a continuity test on a thermistor.
My multimeter ohm setting goes 400 > 4000 > 40k > 400k > 4m.
Does that matter if I set it to 40k?
Thermistor that I think is bad tested 8.3k at room temperature.
40k is the correct setting to use. 8.3k is off enough that we would replace it.
I have a GE dryer with the stem feature. I have the unit apart already. I have no heat. I tested the elements good test thermostat getting continuity . I don't see a thermo fues. please help.
Most dryers made within the last 30 years have at least one thermal fuse. Check the thermal fuses for continuity and also check to make sure the dryer has 240v at the power supply coming to the dryer.
Parts Dr, I still didn't see the thermo fuse. Just new dryer.
how close to the chart should it be? mine is 11.5k but not sure if 1.5k if that far 'off' on my samsung dv3c6bew t0 error code
Tollerances for most dryer thermistors are 5-10%.
Would a bad thermistor cause the dryer not to start ?
Usually only if you are getting an error code relating to the thermistor being bad.
hi GOD bless you, I hope have a day day I want to know, when the termistor is 10,90 still bad? I sitting the multimeter on onm 20k
That is most likely a good reading.
Is there much difference in thermistors for Frigidaire dryers? 53k for Frigidaire???
Use this video for testing a Frigaire dryer thermistor. ua-cam.com/video/Szpj8MsDozg/v-deo.html
My reading is 9.15 ohms, I have resistance on the fuse next to the thermistor, the high limit thermostat and the heating element. Yet, the thermal fuse on the heating element assembly keeps blowing. The blower is clean - my air flow is awesome at the vent cap. Any ideas why the thermal fuse (DC96-00887A) keeps blowing?
With your thermistor reading being that far off it would probably be a good idea to replace it. Our guess is that part probably isn't what is causing the fuse to blow. Try running the dryer on an air dry (no heat) cycle. If it heats on an air dry cycle, check the heating element for a short or your main control board might be bad.
@@PartsDr Thank you - I'll try the no heat cycle when the new fuse arrives. The heating element has continuity and a resistance of 12.25 ohms. It didn't register a short to the housing and I visually inspected to confirm. I also want to update - I found out that the ground jump wire was wired to the ground from the cord instead of the neutral terminal. I have corrected this mis-wire. Is it possible this is causing my specific issue or, more likely, caused the control board to go bad?
nice
would a blown thermistor stop a duet duet from starting?
+youonknowme If you find out, please post the answer on here. I'm having the same issue. Duet dryer, all the lights come on, but when I got to start it clicks and goes to sensing but then nothing else. Have the whole dryer taken apart.
If the thermistor is shorted or open it could stop the drying from running, but it would normally throw an error code relating to the thermistor. If you are not receiving any error codes then we would recommend to start by checking the thermal fuses for continuity. ua-cam.com/video/HyCaoiQsyd0/v-deo.html
Parts Dr I did not know a thermistor eould stop a dryer from running. I thought it might keep the dryer from heating like a bad operating thermostat.
I find that most non start problems are thermal fuse or door switch, sometimes a timer.
My shows no connection at all when testing.
Would the thermistor stop the dryer from powering on?
No, not from our experience.
Getting open reading no resistance on 3 new thermistors. Checked on two different auto ranging multimeters. I must be doing something wrong, can’t believe 3 parts would be bad. Any help would be great.
What make and model multimeter are you using?
Parts Dr Klein mm400 good to 40m
Had it on wrong setting thermistor, heater, and limits are good but still not heating. I am assuming the control panels is bad?
@@arambo1628 It could be. Make sure you always start by checking that the power supply to the dryer is good.
I am using a fluke 7 - 600 electrical tester multimeter when I tested the thermistor with this multimeter I did not hear a beep or no reading was shown does this mean the thermistor is bad or did I not check it correctly?
The Fluke 7-600 only registers ohm values of up to 400 ohms, so this meter will not register a high enough ohm value to test this part. You will need to use a different multimeter that registers ohm values over 10,000 ohms to test this part.
@@PartsDr Can you recommend me a multimeter that can measure up to 10,000ohms under $50?
@@user-xv7eb5ct9f This one from Home Depot is within your budget and it measures up to 40 Million Ohms. Just make sure you read the instructions so you know how to switch it between Continuity and Resistance measurement modes. www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-Auto-Ranging-Digital-Multi-Meter-MM400/206517333
i dont have a tester can i bypass the thermistor by jumping the 2 wires together to see if my dryer will spin? PF code. ive already jumped the thermal fuse and nothing happens
No you cannot bypass the thermistor. PF is usually a Power Failure error that occurs when the dryer is unplugged and plugged back in.
so whats the fix then because my dryer does not spin? belt is good/thermal fuse is bypassed and not working kenmoore he4.
ive seen other vids telling me pf means its the thermistor. also why cant this be bypassed?
Error codes are specific to each model appliance. You will need to look up for your specific model what the PF error code means. The thermistor cannot be bypassed because it has to output the correct reading to the control board for the dryer to function properly.
I am getting a .05 ohm reading on my thermistor on my Samsung dryer would this make the HC error code
That reading would mean the part is bad if you are testing it correctly. We couldn't find any information on the "HC" error code.
I get a .25 on the 20k ohm setting... So 250 at room temp. My error code is "HE".. And this makes sense that the dryer stops almost immediately since it would think the temp is off the chart.
Thanks for this video! Was very informative and useful!
@@evanmitchell1480 We are glad you found it helpful!
where can I find a resistance chart for the dc32-00007a
You can view it here: goo.gl/photos/SLATZTpo44JEU3Vw9
Thanks. At room temperature 70 I am getting about 8k put it in the fridge for 10 minutes best I can get is about 14k.
Since it is off by approximately 2k ohms at room temp we would recommend to replace the part.
Hello sir, Thanks for the info. At room temperature of 70F I got a reading of 11.71 K ohms but no continuity. Would you say this is right?
Should I get a beep on the Continuity test?
No, not for this type of part.
1:22 is what you need
Can a bad thermistor also cause the error code HC?
HC is usually a Heater Circuit error. That should not relate to the thermistor. Try checking the things we show in this video ua-cam.com/video/iWZucCy3EC8/v-deo.html
I did not respond to a test with a multimeter set in ohm（2k），What's the reason
Since the ohm value is higher than 2k, you have to use the 20k setting.
thermistor has 3 legs right? then why this one has 2??
Gunjan Shah thermistors only have 2

What about just using the continuity mode? Would that be okay?
No, you cannot continuity test this part.
My GE thermistor values are a bit higher than yours at 1:40
Each thermistor can have a different resistance value. You will want to check the correct resistance value for that particular thermistor to see if it is within the manufactures specifications.
my thermistor resistance values were on the wiring diagram. Looks like it matched those values. Just wanted others to know these values were not exact and others would need to check their model's values
Does this thing have anything to do with the dryer not heating. Ive replaced the heating element, thermal fuse and the other fuse thing and still no heat.
If the dryer is throwing an error code relating to the thermistor it depends on the model of dryer but it can cause the dryer to not heat or not run at all until the problem is resolved.
