Parts for Maytag PYG4500AWW: 06 - Heater Parts

This 10-24 threaded screw secures appliance components that use a #10 machine screw. It provides reliable fastening for panels, brackets, and assemblies so parts stay aligned and stable during normal use and service. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or assemblies that accept a 10-24 machine screw
• Maintains alignment and structural connection under normal operating loads
• Replaces worn, stripped, or missing screws to restore secure mounting
• Works with sheet-metal and component mating nuts or threaded inserts commonly used in appliances

• One 10-24 threaded screw

• Power tools can be used; avoid overtightening to prevent stripped threads or damaged components
• Disconnect power and follow all safety steps for your appliance before servicing
• Ensure proper engagement and torque to avoid damage

A high-limit thermostat that stops the dryer's heating circuit if internal temperatures get too high, helping prevent overheating and protecting heating components. Replaces a failed high-limit thermostat to restore overheat protection. What it does

• Opens the heating circuit when dryer temperature exceeds the thermostat set point to prevent overheating.
• Commonly related symptoms: dryer runs but produces little or no heat, dryer gets unusually hot, or the thermal cutoff repeatedly fails.
• Works as part of the dryer's temperature-safety system to protect heating elements, fuses, and internal wiring.

• One high-limit thermostat

• Disconnect power before accessing the dryer and work only after panels are cool.
• Take a photo or label wires before removal to ensure correct reconnection.
• Test the thermostat for continuity with a multimeter to confirm failure before replacing.
• If other safety devices (thermal fuse, cycling thermostat, element) show symptoms, inspect and test those components too.

The Dryer Thermostat Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit includes a high-limit thermostat and a thermal fuse, both of which are crucial for regulating the dryer’s temperature. The high-limit thermostat prevents the dryer from overheating, while the thermal fuse will cut off power if a critical temperature is exceeded, ensuring safety. The kit includes a high-limit thermostat (WP53-0771) and two thermal fuses (WP53-1096 & WP53-1182).

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Thermostat Kit include:

• The dryer not heating properly or at all, leading to clothes remaining damp after a cycle.
• Overheating of the dryer, which can be dangerous and cause additional component failure.
• The dryer stopping unexpectedly or not starting, indicating a blown thermal fuse.

Causes of issues with the thermostat or thermal fuse can include lint build-up that blocks proper airflow, faulty heating elements that cause temperature fluctuations, or general wear and tear that affects component integrity.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models,.
