134711200 Dryer Replacement Thermistor 12 Month Warranty

Restore accurate dryer temperature monitoring with the Wholesale Sensors 134711200 Dryer Replacement Thermistor, backed by a strong 12-Month Warranty and responsive USA-based product support. Designed as a replacement for the original Frigidaire 134711200 inlet thermistor, this temperature sensor provides the dryer control system with important temperature feedback needed to regulate heating performance during the drying cycle.

The 134711200 is specifically identified as an inlet thermistor for compatible dryers. Unlike the separate 134711300 exhaust thermistor, the 134711200 is associated with monitoring temperature at the dryer inlet. The sensor is installed within the dryer’s air duct system, where it detects changes in temperature and provides corresponding information to the electronic control system. The control can then adjust heating operation according to the temperature conditions detected during the drying cycle.

This Wholesale Sensors component is engineered as a perfect OEM-style replacement designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for compatible applications. The primary manufacturer reference is Frigidaire 134711200. Verified cross-reference numbers include 7134711200, 1482944, AP4368801, EAP2349279, PS2349279, AFR14384, and PD00024094. These references may appear in appliance parts catalogs under different supplier or distributor numbering systems.

Compatibility includes select Electrolux, Frigidaire, and Kenmore dryers. Parts documentation confirms that the original 134711200 thermistor was manufactured for dryers sold under these brands. Because each brand includes numerous dryer configurations and production revisions, customers should verify the complete appliance model number rather than relying on brand name or physical appearance alone.

Popular verified Electrolux applications include models such as EFME517STT0, EFME617STT0, EIMED60LT3, EIMED60LT4, EWMED70JSS3, EWMED65HIW0, EFMC517SIW0, EWMGD65IMB0, and EWMGD65IRR0. Additional compatible models exist across the Electrolux dryer family.

Verified Kenmore applications include models within the 417-series, such as 417.81100000, 417.81100003, 417.81101000, 417.81102000, 417.81102002, 417.81102003, 417.84130000, 417.84131000, 417.84132000, 417.91100000, 417.91100003, and 417.91102003. These model references are useful when checking compatibility, but the original part number should still be verified before purchase.

A thermistor operates differently from a simple on-off thermal switch. Its electrical resistance changes in response to temperature. The dryer electronic control monitors this changing electrical signal and uses the information as part of its heating control strategy.

The 134711200 inlet thermistor is positioned to monitor temperature conditions within the air duct. Accurate temperature feedback helps the dryer regulate heat during operation, supporting consistent drying performance while helping prevent temperatures from moving outside the intended operating range.

When the original inlet thermistor begins to deteriorate, the control may receive inaccurate or intermittent temperature information. Depending on the nature of the failure and the specific dryer control system, potential symptoms can include incorrect heating, inconsistent drying temperatures, unexpectedly long or short drying cycles, dryer shutdown during operation, or difficulty regulating heat correctly. Parts documentation specifically identifies improper heating, unexpected shutdown, and incorrect temperature regulation as possible reasons this component may require replacement.

These symptoms do not automatically mean the 134711200 thermistor is defective. Dryers contain multiple components that influence heating and drying performance. A dryer that takes too long to dry clothes may have a blocked exhaust vent, restricted lint screen, crushed vent hose, poor airflow, heating element problem, gas burner problem, moisture sensor issue, control board fault, or another temperature sensor problem.

Likewise, a dryer that becomes excessively hot may have restricted airflow rather than a failed inlet thermistor. Before replacing electrical components, always inspect the dryer’s ventilation system and confirm that air can move freely through the appliance and exhaust duct.

Proper diagnosis is especially important because compatible dryers can contain more than one temperature-sensing component. For example, 134711200 is the inlet thermistor, while 134711300 is cataloged separately as an exhaust thermistor. These components should not be assumed to be interchangeable simply because both monitor temperature.

If the original sensor is accessible, inspect its connector and wiring for loose terminals, corrosion, heat damage, damaged insulation, broken conductors, or poor electrical contact. A damaged connector or wiring problem can create an incorrect temperature signal even when the thermistor itself remains functional.

A thermistor can also be tested electrically using a suitable digital multimeter. Resistance should change as the sensor temperature changes. Testing should be compared with the appropriate service specifications for the exact appliance rather than assuming all dryer thermistors use the same resistance curve.

Installation should be performed only after disconnecting electrical power to the dryer. Unplug the appliance or disconnect it from its approved electrical supply before removing panels or accessing internal components. Gas dryers may require additional precautions according to the manufacturer’s service instructions.

Locate the existing inlet thermistor according to the service documentation for your exact dryer model. The sensor is installed in the dryer’s air duct system on compatible applications. Document the original mounting position, connector orientation, and wiring route before removing the existing component.

Disconnect the electrical connector carefully without pulling directly on the wires. Remove the existing thermistor using the appropriate service procedure, then install the replacement in the same position. Make sure the sensor is secured properly and that the electrical connector is fully seated.

After reassembly, restore power and operate the dryer through an appropriate test or normal drying cycle. Confirm that heating behavior is normal and that airflow through the dryer and exhaust system is unrestricted.

Dryers do not use automotive OBD-II diagnostic trouble codes, so automotive codes such as P0117 or P0118 do not apply to the 134711200. Electronically controlled dryers may have manufacturer-specific service or error codes, but the meaning of those codes depends on the exact appliance model and control platform. Always consult the appropriate dryer service information when troubleshooting a displayed error.
