Description

This outlet backup thermostat for dryers mounts on the exhaust duct and provides secondary over-temperature protection. It shuts the heater off if exhaust air gets too hot, helping maintain safe, consistent drying.

• Serves as a secondary temperature limit on the exhaust/outlet duct
• Opens the heater circuit if exhaust temperature rises too high
• Failure symptoms include no heat, intermittent heat, overheating, or short-cycling
• Replace if it fails continuity testing or shows heat damage

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply (for gas models) before servicing
• Access the outlet/exhaust duct per your model; transfer wires one at a time and secure the thermostat to the duct
• Replace any heat-damaged connectors and correct restricted airflow (clean lint filter and vent) before testing
• Match the color/rating to your original; this is the orange variant
