Product Description
This Dryer High Limit Thermostat regulates the temperature of the dryer stopping it from overheating. If your dryer does not heat, the most common cause is a blown thermal fuse. The part is located behind the front access panel of the dryer. When replacing, make note of the the position of the colored wires when disconnecting. Both the thermostat and fuse can be tested to determine if either is defective. Replacing the element will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part.
