Goodman ARUF172916CA Thermistor
A thermistor is a special kind of new age resistor whose resistance is solely dependent on current temperature. They tell the circuit board when a certain temperature reaches a certain point. The main control board deciphers the temp in certain areas to know what to do next.
Signs the Goodman thermister is in dire straights
- The heating and AC system may never start up because of the thermistor that is malfunctioning
- The system blower may fail to begin to engage full speed spinning
