John K Midland , MI December 08, 2015 Appliance: Model DDE5300BALWH Dryer caught fire Thanks to the quick shipping and quality parts from Appliance Parts Pros, I was able to replace the faulty cycling thermostat in my dryer. The old thermostat failed catastrophically, igniting a lint ball and nearly burning down my house. Thankfully, our we have good smoke detectors and were able to stop the dryer and clear things out before the situation worsened. The new parts arrived quickly and the install was simple. I also changed the high-limit thermostat. It looked and tested fine, but failed to shut off the heating element when the cycling thermostat changed. It's cheap insurance against another incident. 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
