it's always on the blower wheel housing,your dryer has that funky blower wheel setup with the blower wheel flat and powered with a belt,don't know why they would change the old setup but anyway the thermistor is on top of the blower next to the thermal fuse,go here put your model number in,go to bulkhead parts and look at the blower wheel housing you'll see part 56 that's your thermistor,and the inlet thermistor is on the heater box part 48 on diagram,it should read between 50 and 60k ohms at room temp.

also while your in there check the thermal fuse on the blower housing next to the thermistor and check all the t-stats even though it says it's the inlet therm. it's good to still check all of them out,a dirty vent line or blower wheel housing or the duct that the lint filter slides down into could be blocked and take out the thermal fuse or one of the other t-stats it does this as a safety if the dryer can't move air and starts to overheat it will pop one of the stats so it's always good to check them out instead of changing out the part you think it is,the codes tell you what's happening and what it could be not the actual problem,i read people change out all the t-stats,the heater and they still don't have heat because of a bad board or motor or timer depending on model number,if they checked the parts with a meter they could have saved money knowing the parts were good instead of changing them out,all you need is a multi meter,set it to say 20k ohms,remove at least one of the wires on the part you want to check,put the leads one on each side of part you want to check where the wires connect to it,if you see a 1 on the meter the part is bad or open,if you see anything else but 1 the part is good or closed,touch the leads together first to make sure the meter is working,when you touch them together you should see anything but 1

also while your in there clean out the dryer,if you have a shop vac vac up all the lint you see,then set the shop vac up to blow and blow off the motor the heater box and inside the blower,get all the lint out, clean out the duct that the lint filter slides into then if your vent line is a long run disconnect it from the back of dryer and i use a leaf blower stick it into the vent line and blow it out to the outside,hope this helps you out,
