Customer Questions and Answers for Thermal Limiter by Frigidaire

4.89 (64)
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: OEM6324555
Manufacturer Part Number: 134120900

The Thermal Limiter is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It acts as a safety feature, designed to prevent the dryer from overheating by shutting down the appliance when the internal temperature exceeds safe limits. 

Symptoms of a failing Thermal Limiter include:

  • The dryer failing to start or stopping abruptly during a cycle
  • No heat being generated while the dryer is running
  • The dryer overheating or feeling excessively hot

Common causes for a bad thermal limiter include restricted airflow due to a clogged lint filter or venting system, component failure from age or faulty manufacturing, and unusually high operating temperatures from overloading the dryer or mechanical failures elsewhere in the system. When a thermal limiter trips or fails, it must be replaced to restore functionality to the dryer.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Mike B for Model Number LEQ70000EGO

Hi Again! Thanks for your quick response to my first question. I did check for continuity on the Thermal limiter. Got my meter to beep so I know it's good. Looks like there was a similar component on the back of the dryer drum near the 1st one and checked that too. Again, good. I wonder if there could be a fuse located on the control board because I found the Tech paperwork inside the unit and tried to do a self test to see the error codes, but I couldn't get any display whatsoever. Also the door light does not even come on, when opened. I confirmed power was present on the block inside the dryer, so I know the plug and receptacle are OK. Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks, Mike B

Answer

Hi Mike. Remove the top. Unhook at least one wire and ohm a fuse with a closed circuit, not open. Thermal fuse on the back top inside close to the terminal block. Also, make sure all supply wires are tight on the terminal block. Are you getting 240 vac to the unit, with 120 vac to neutral each leg respectively? Follow the pictorial diagram on the unit back. Is the terminal block broken? , Part # is 134101400. There is a thermostat below the other one part # 3204267. Also check by the control board to see if a wire came off the in line filter board. Look At the inner door switch to see if there is a bad connection there as well. Switch part # is 134813661. On the lower blower hsg. there is a thermistor part # 134587700, it will read 10,000 ohms at room temperature's. Thank you.
