Indesit drier fault F04- help required

[baldelectrician]

Hi All
I have an Indesit drier and it has a fault
It is a IDCE8540BH(uk)

It has come up with a F04 code

I have taken the back off and checked the stats
Both cut out thermostats have continuity, there is a thermistor - this is where I need help

What should be the reading across the thermistor?

Is there a reset possible - I really need an engineer manual

Ta for the help in advance

Depending on the type of thermistor, the resistance will rise or fall if you apply heat with a hair dryer.

Look at the value and measure it. It should be around that at ambient for a NTC type.

A PTC type should be low and rise when heated.
