Dryer Not Heating Evenly? Thermistor 6323EL2001B – Fix Temperature Sensor Failure Fast

If your LG or Kenmore dryer is running too hot, too cool, or shutting off mid-cycle, a failed thermistor is the most common cause. In most LG-built dryers, the thermistor monitors drum temperature and signals the control board to regulate heat. When it fails, the dryer loses accurate temperature feedback — leading to overheating, under-drying, or unexpected shutdowns. ⚡ Common failure point in LG-built gas and electric dryers. Part 6323EL2001B is the genuine OEM replacement thermistor assembly that restores precise temperature control and normal drying cycles immediately.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Dryer powers on and drum turns normally
• ✔ Igniter or heating element functions (gas flame lights or element heats briefly)
• ✔ Airflow confirmed OK — lint trap and exhaust vent are clear
• ✔ Thermal fuse tests good (not blown)
• ✔ ONLY problem is incorrect temperature, premature shutoff, or clothes not drying fully

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Dryer runs but clothes come out damp — most common complaint
• Dryer overheats or shuts off before cycle completes
• Dryer runs on timed dry but auto-sense cycles fail
• Drum gets extremely hot — scorching or shrinking clothes
• Error codes tE1, tE2, or tE3 displayed on control panel
• Dryer starts normally but heat cuts out after a few minutes

✔ If these symptoms match, the thermistor is the most likely failed component in the heating circuit.

✔ In most cases, replacing this thermistor restores normal auto-sensing and temperature regulation immediately.

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: EASY — 20–30 minutes. Unplug the dryer or shut off the gas supply before beginning. Remove the rear panel to access the exhaust duct housing, disconnect the two-wire harness from the old thermistor, and unscrew the probe from the duct. Install the new 6323EL2001B in reverse order — no soldering or special tools required. Ensure the probe seats flush against the duct wall for accurate temperature readings.
