The function of the rear inlet thermistor / Inlet NTC
is to determine the heater status. If the tempera-
ture reads over the threshold, the heater(s) will be
turned off. A faulty inlet NTC may prevent the
heater(s) from turning on, or may turn the heater(s)
off prematurely.
The inlet thermistor is inserted into the outlet of the
heat duct to sense the temperature of the air prior
to entering the drying compartment. A screw
secures the inlet thermistor to the outside of the
heat duct.
To remove the inlet thermistor:
1. Remove the top panel, top rear brace and rear
panel.
2. The inlet thermistor is mounted to the top left
hand side of the heat duct. Using a #2 square
bit screwdriver, extract the screw securing
the inlet thermistor to the heat duct.
(See Figure 4-25)
3. Pull inlet thermistor from heat duct.
4. Disconnect inlet thermistor from from wire
harness at the Molex connector.
