Possible Causes
Defective inlet thermistor, Loose or corroded thermistor connector, Damaged wiring harness to thermistor, Failed main control board temperature circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool.
Step-by-step checks:
- Locate inlet thermistor: On many GE Profile dryers, the inlet thermistor is mounted near the air intake or blower housing at the front of the dryer.
- Inspect wiring: Check the thermistor connector and harness for damage or loose fit. Reseat the connector.
- Measure resistance: Disconnect the thermistor and measure its resistance at room temperature. Compare to the specification in the tech sheet (commonly in the 10k–50k ohm range). An open or shorted reading indicates failure.
- Replace thermistor: If out of spec, remove the mounting screw(s) and install a new OEM thermistor. Reconnect wiring securely.
- Control board: If the thermistor and wiring are good, the main control board may not be reading the sensor correctly and may need replacement.
Note: Faulty temperature sensing can cause poor drying performance and energy waste; correct promptly.
