NTC

Can anyone tell me what NTC stands for?
and can anyone tell me the part number for the NTC for a Whirlpool AWG349/4 as I am getting E14 displayed after about 15 seconds of turning on, and reading the forum pages it is this that I need.

Nottingham Terrier Club and Newgat Theatre Company are two options 🙂
I think it is Nominal Temperature Coefficient but i wouldnt put money on it.

Jim is correct, The NTC is just a posh stat.

I recall a certain engineer at Whirlpool training course in Paddock Wood answering this question with “nice tiny component” during a test, I suppose he was right 😆

Re: NTC

Only NTC I can see is for the dryer p/no 4812 237 08014.
P/no may have changed but I don’t have access to that info 😉

Re: NTC

If i remember my college training, its when the resistance reduces as the temperature rises, as can be important info for testing and positive temp co..is the opposite would you believe the resistance increases as temp rises.

Re: NTC

I don’t know why they can’t just call it a “Thermistor” instead of giving an abbreviation that an un-named component has a negetive temperature coefficient.

Re: NTC

The clever bit is to interpret the info – a comparator array on the pcb was the common way to do it – when the NTC resistance matched a fixed value resistance on the array, the programme would proceed.

Yes, it does seem stupid, like referring to the motor as a “rotation”.

My out of date SIOS shows this at £29 ish + VAT 😯
I always use a salvaged one from a Whirlpool wash element which is exactly the same and works a treat 😉
