ARE YOUR FANS COMING ON? If they aren't coming on, it could be the thermister in the thermostat housing, a blown relay, bad fan motors or wiring OR the thermistor (not the thermostat).
The symbol of a thermistor is a resistor with an arrow pointing towards it.
They don't need motors because you are supposed to row them.
A RV absorption refrigerator uses a thermistor as a thermostat. The thermistor is moved up or down to regulate the refrigerator temperature.
The resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases.
To test a dryer thermistor, you can use a multimeter to measure its resistance. Disconnect the thermistor from the dryer and set the multimeter to the resistance setting. Place the multimeter probes on the thermistor's terminals and check the reading. Compare the reading to the manufacturer's specifications to determine if the thermistor is functioning properly.
You can modify the resistance of a thermistor by changing its temperature. As the temperature increases, the resistance of a thermistor decreases, and vice versa. By adjusting the surrounding temperature or applying heat or cooling, you can effectively change the resistance of the thermistor.
A thermistor is a type of resistor specifically designed to have a predictable change in resistance depending on the temperature surrounding it. All resistors and, in fact the resistance of all components are succeptable to changes in temperature. The thermistor however, is specifically designed to exploit this in order to be able to measure temperature. They are commonly found in all sorts of temperature sensing circuits, from your digital thermostat in your house to your digital meat thermometer.
No, the resistance of a thermistor is typically measured in ohms. The relationship between the resistance of a thermistor and temperature is nonlinear, and it is used to calculate the temperature of the thermistor in degrees Celsius.
While some people use a much more exhaustive and precise testing procedure, a very simple test can uncover the most common problems with a thermistor: * measure the resistance of the thermistor at room temperature with an ohmmeter. If this resistance is 0 (short) or infinity (open), then something is connected incorrectly or the thermistor has been destroyed. (These are the most common problems). If that test looks good, then a followup test can uncover nearly all the remaining possible problems with a thermistor: * put icewater in a ziplock bag and press it against the thermistor. Then measure the resistance of the themistor at freezing. The two measured values of resistance are usually adequate to identify what kind of thermistor it is. If both values are practically the same, then it's not really a thermistor -- perhaps someone has accidentally substituted a resistor. If one or both values are not the expected values, perhaps someone has accidentally substituted a different kind of thermistor.
As a thermistor gets colder, its resistance increases. This is because the material in the thermistor contracts, reducing the number of charge carriers available for conduction, hence increasing resistance.
A thermistor is thermoresistive.
