Whirlpool Thermistor WP35001191 OEM Part

Whirlpool's suite of brands encompasses Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items compatible with Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Among these products, the thermistor stands out as a crucial Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement component for various Whirlpool dryers. Its main role is to gauge the internal temperature within the dryer and communicate this data to the control unit. By sensing temperature fluctuations through its resistance, the thermistor plays a vital part in regulating heating cycles efficiently.

Over time, thermistors in dryers may malfunction due to the natural degradation of electronic components. Additional factors contributing to their failure include exposure to moisture, physical damage, and excessive heat.

Signs of a malfunctioning thermistor may include:

- Inconsistent or unexpected changes in interior temperatures
- Prolonged or excessively frequent heating or cooling phases
- Difficulty in reaching or sustaining desired temperatures

This OEM component is also compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

By replacing a faulty thermistor, these issues can be addressed, potentially resolving problems such as the dryer shutting off prematurely.
