WP8577274 Whirlpool Dryer Thermistor – Precision Temperature Control

This genuine OEM thermistor is a critical temperature sensor that monitors exhaust air temperature in your Whirlpool dryer. It sends real-time feedback to the control board to regulate heat levels, ensuring safe and efficient drying cycles. If your dryer displays error codes (F22, F23), doesn't heat correctly, overheats, or has long dry times, a faulty thermistor is often the cause.
