Frigidaire Washer Dryer Combo Fuse Or Sensor

The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It serves as a critical safety device, designed to cut off the power to the heating element if the dryer overheats. This thermostat helps prevent potential fire hazards by maintaining a safe operating temperature within the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad High Limit Thermostat include:

• The dryer not heating up at all, indicating that the thermostat may have tripped or failed permanently.
• Dryer repeatedly shutting off during cycles, which can be a sign that the thermostat is tripping too frequently due to overheating issues.
• Excessive heat in the dryer, suggesting that the thermostat is not functioning properly and failing to regulate the temperature.

Causes of a bad high limit thermostat can include restricted airflow due to a clogged lint filter or venting system, malfunctioning heating elements that generate excessive heat, or simply the thermostat wearing out over time.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Thermal Limiter is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It acts as a safety feature, designed to prevent the dryer from overheating by shutting down the appliance when the internal temperature exceeds safe limits. 

Symptoms of a failing Thermal Limiter include:

• The dryer failing to start or stopping abruptly during a cycle
• No heat being generated while the dryer is running
• The dryer overheating or feeling excessively hot

Common causes for a bad thermal limiter include restricted airflow due to a clogged lint filter or venting system, component failure from age or faulty manufacturing, and unusually high operating temperatures from overloading the dryer or mechanical failures elsewhere in the system. When a thermal limiter trips or fails, it must be replaced to restore functionality to the dryer.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Dryer Heat Sensor is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This sensor monitors the temperature inside the dryer drum to ensure clothes are dried effectively and safely by regulating the heat levels during the drying cycle.

Causes of a bad heat sensor can include wear and tear from frequent use, buildup of lint or debris, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning sensor can result in incorrect temperature readings, leading to under-drying or overheating of clothes.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Heat Sensor include:

• Clothes not drying properly or taking too long to dry
• Dryer overheating or shutting off unexpectedly
• Inconsistent drying cycles
• Error codes related to temperature control

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This dryer thermostat monitors internal air temperature and opens/closes the heater circuit to keep drying safe and consistent. Replacing a weak or failed thermostat restores proper heat and helps prevent overheating or nuisance shutdowns. What it does:

• Senses exhaust/heater housing temperature and switches the heating circuit based on temperature
• Helps maintain target drying temperatures for consistent performance
• Provides over-temperature protection by opening the circuit if heat rises too high
• Common symptoms include no heat or weak heat, long dry times, heat cutting out mid-cycle, or the dryer running hotter than normal

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; heating components can be live and hot
• Access location varies by model; typically mounted on the heater or blower housing behind a rear or front panel
• Transfer wires from the old thermostat to the new one one-at-a-time and secure firmly; ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat
• After replacement, check and clear the venting/duct for proper airflow to prevent repeat failures

This dryer control thermostat regulates internal temperature by cycling the heater on and off. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper, consistent drying temperatures to protect fabrics and improve overall drying performance.

• Monitors exhaust temperature and opens/closes contacts to maintain target heat
• Helps prevent underheating and overheating during drying cycles
• Common symptoms of failure: no heat or low heat, long dry times, runs too hot, inconsistent temperatures
• A sticking thermostat may cause the high-limit safety to trip

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access location varies by model; typically mounted on the blower or heater housing
• Move wires one at a time from the old thermostat to the new one; ensure tight, secure connections
• After replacement, clean the lint path and verify exterior venting for proper airflow

This temperature control thermostat regulates your appliance's internal temperature by opening and closing the electrical circuit as conditions change, helping it reach and maintain the setting you select for consistent performance. What it does:

• Senses temperature and opens/closes contacts to control the system
• Helps maintain the set temperature by cycling the unit on and off
• Can lead to inconsistent temperature or a control knob that has no effect

• 1 temperature control thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; use proper PPE around sharp sheet metal
• Photograph wiring and transfer conductors one at a time to the new control
• Route it exactly as original and avoid kinks or sharp bends
• Set the control to mid-range after installation and allow the unit to stabilize before fine-tuning

This safety thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch that helps protect your appliance from overheating. When excessive heat is detected, it opens the circuit to stop power to critical components, helping prevent damage and ensuring safe operation.

• Monitors temperature at a specific location and interrupts power if it exceeds a safe limit
• Can cause no power, no heat, or shutdown during use when failed or tripped
• Helps prevent overheating damage to internal components
• Restores normal operation when replaced

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service
• Note wire positions and terminal orientation before removal
• Use proper tools and avoid bending or stressing terminals
• After installation, check for underlying overheating causes (blocked airflow, failed fan, etc.)

This mechanical temperature control thermostat regulates refrigerator temperature to keep food cold and cycling the compressor as needed. Replaces a faulty control to restore proper cooling performance and temperature stability. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the compressor circuit to maintain set temperature.
• Stops the compressor when the refrigerator reaches the selected temperature and restarts it as needed.
• Commonly replaced when the fridge runs continuously, won't reach set temperature, or has erratic cooling cycles.
• May produce a clicking sound when switching or fail to make electrical contact, causing cooling loss.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access may require removing interior panels or control housing; keep track of fasteners and wire locations.
• Verify wiring and operation with a multimeter; replace only with the correct OEM part.

This is a factory cover assembly that protects and finishes a specific component area on your appliance, helping keep internal parts shielded from debris and damage for reliable operation.

• Shields internal components in the designated area from dust, splashes, and accidental contact
• Helps maintain proper airflow/containment where designed
• Can address issues like a missing, cracked, or loose cover causing rattles, exposure, or poor fit
• Restores a clean, secure enclosure to the original design

• Unplug the appliance and shut off any applicable utilities before servicing
• Use appropriate hand tools; retain and reuse original fasteners
• Handle edges carefully and align tabs/slots before tightening screws
• Test operation and inspect for proper seating and clearance after installation
