Description

This dryer thermostat controls operating temperature by opening and closing the heater circuit, helping deliver consistent drying performance and safety. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper heat regulation and helps prevent under- or over-drying.

• Monitors air temperature and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain target heat.
• Helps protect against overheating by interrupting power when temperatures exceed its calibrated threshold.
• Common symptoms include no heat, weak heat, long dry times, or the dryer running too hot/shutting off on high-temperature safety.

What's included: 1 thermostat. Install notes:

• Disconnect power; if gas, also shut off the gas supply before servicing.
• Access location varies by model; typically mounts on the blower or heater housing.
• Transfer wires to the new thermostat one at a time and reuse existing mounting hardware.
• Clear lint and verify proper vent airflow before testing the dryer.
