Product review (5 stars): Fixed Premature Shutdown Issue
A faulty thermistor was causing our electric dryer to shut off the heat and drum motor mid-cycle. The timer would then speed up and quickly run to end of the cycle without completely drying our clothes. It was simple to pop off the lower front panel with a putty knife, then remove a fan duct with 1/4" wrench to get to the thermistor. A 1/4" wrench then R&R'd the thermistor which is in plain view at that point. Before replacing a costly timer or circuit board try this simple 10 minute repair.
