What should the temperature be at the cotton (high) setting?

What controls the temperature?

Thanks in advance

The temperature of the cotton/high setting should be about 150 degrees.

The temperature is controlled by a thermistor.

The resistance of the thermistor should be 1100 ohms at room temperature.

Here is a link to the parts of your dryer model 110.70912990.

I must be an idiot but I can't find the thermister listed anywhere. I mean I know what it is, but your link to the parts made it impossible for me to find the part listed so I can order it.
Thanks

The thermistor should be in the exhaust duct behind the toe panel.

[jason799]

resistence of the thermostate, at room temperature, is only 870

What does this mean?

It seem that you thermostat is good and your room temperature is a round 80 degrees.

Thanks

Sheila, Your off on the temperature by about 5 to 8 degrees, shame on you.

Next I'll go to the selector switch then the CPU board.

Never heard the term thermistor-nice to learn at my age.

Trying to figure out why this machine will only heat to about 120 has become a mission at this point. Selector switch is intriguing as is the cpu board. With the cpu board removed machine still heats to only 120.

I'll report back.

Wish me luck
