Customer Questions and Answers for Temperature Selector Switch by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18025128
Manufacturer Part Number: WP3399639

The Temperature Selector Switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This electro-mechanical switch allows consumers to choose between heat settings that adequately dry different fabric types.

Causes of a damaged selector switch can include regular wear from hundreds of cycles over the appliance's lifetime. Mineral deposits accumulating inside linkage mechanics may cause rotational movements to stiffen. The physical impacts of shifting internal contact positions could potentially lead to switching issues as well.

Symptoms of a faulty temperature selector involve:

  • Inability to change heat level for desired drying performance  
  • Temperature remaining stuck on highest or lowest settings
  • Lint filter or duct cleaning lights failing to illuminate properly

This OEM replacement is compatible with some Kenmore and KitchenAid electric dryer models too.

Jeff, The thermal fuse on the blower housing is what you want to check to see if it has continuity. If not then it will need to be replaced. The other thing that you will want to check is to see if there is power getting to the motor when start is pushed. If there is power to the motor then the motor would need to be replace and if not then it most likely will be a bad timer if the door switch is ok.
