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.

Hello J.H., I would first test the voltage to the unit with the unit on to see if there is a voltage drop when under load. If so, there could be an issue with the breaker or the associated wiring. This test should be done at the terminal block where the power cord connects to the unit. If the power supply checks out good and the prongs on the power cord prongs have no burned spots on them, the issue can only be the timer motor, the timer contacts, the heating element 279838, or the motors' 279827 centrifugal switch. Since the timer has been replaced, this eliminates the timer contacts and the timer motor.
