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.

Answer

Hello JRG, Testing will need to be done with a multimeter when the dryer is not heating and running in a dry cycle. First, test for 120v L2 red wire to Neutral white wire at the dryer's terminal block, if the voltage is missing check terminal connections, line cord and circuit breaker. If it has the correct 120v then next at timer terminals Black to Red, if has 240v and the dryer is not heating then replace the timer. The temperature selector has a resistance range of 10 to 10k ohms depending on selection however it only controls the temperature level (low to high) when in a heat mode.
