Do-It-Yourself Story

The thermostat kit includes the thermal fuse which was the bad part. Replaced both the fuse and the included high-limit thermostat. The parts I ordered fixed the problem, and it was very easy to do.

Turns out it was not a problem since Whirlpool makes replacement parts for many brands. Although it was a slightly different design.even the Whirlpool light bulb fit, Bottom line: Dryers are incredibly easy for amateurs to repair, so watch the videos and then go for it!
