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 Nick, the temperature selector switch for this model only controls the range of drying temp, not the heat/no heat selection, that is done in the timer. If you have a multimeter then run the dryer with a clothes load until it loses heat in the cycle, then test for 240v L1-L2 at the rear terminal block, if you still have 240v, then unplug the dryer line cord or shut off the breaker to it and access the motor and check the load switch wiring and terminals for any problems.
