How to Access and Replace the Thermistor on Dryer Model GGW9250PL1

If you're looking to access or replace the thermistor on your Whirlpool dryer model GGW9250PL1, follow these detailed steps. The thermistor plays a critical role in regulating your dryer's temperature, so it's important to ensure it's functioning correctly. Before you begin, make sure to unplug the dryer to avoid any electrical hazards.

Step 1: Remove the Bottom Access Panel

Start by locating the bottom access panel on your dryer. You'll find three screws at the bottom lip of this panel. Using a screwdriver, remove these screws and carefully set them aside. Once the screws are out, you can remove the access panel, providing you with access to the dryer's internal components.

Step 2: Remove the Lint Filter Housing

Next, remove the lint filter from its housing. With the lint filter removed, you'll see screws that hold the lint filter housing in place. Remove these screws, then slide the lint filter housing down and set it aside. This will give you clear access to the top side of the blower wheel housing.

Step 3: Locate and Remove the Thermistor

Now that the lint filter housing is out of the way, you can easily access the blower wheel housing. The thermistor is located on the top of the blower wheel housing, positioned on the far right side. The thermal fuse is on the left side of this housing. To remove the thermistor, disconnect the wires from the thermistor terminals. Then, using a 1/4 inch screwdriver, remove the two screws holding the thermistor in place. Once the screws are removed, the thermistor can be lifted out.
