    Default Kenmore dryer thermistor ?

    I have a Kenmore elite dryer model number 11062956100. When the push to start button is pressed it beeps three times and when the button is released the dryer shuts off. From what I read I assume I need to replace the thermistor. However, when I hold the PTS button down and the dryer runs, there is no heat (it vents only cold air). Is this also indicative of a thermistor problem or does this indicate there is something else wrong?
    Thanks

    You can order the thermistor and the motor/heat relay from those posts as well.

    Here is a new control board in case you need to order it:

    I replaced the thermistor and everything worked fine for about 4 weeks. Now the same problem is back. Any ideas?

    You may need to change that control board now.
