The Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a critical role in regulating the temperature inside the dryer by cycling the heating element on and off to maintain the desired level of heat. This ensures that clothes are dried efficiently and safely.
Common causes of a bad thermostat include electrical malfunctions, overheating, or wear and tear over time. These issues can prevent the thermostat from accurately controlling the temperature, leading to drying inefficiencies or potential safety hazards.
Symptoms of a bad Thermostat include:
- The dryer not heating up
- Overheating or extremely high temperatures
- Clothes taking too long to dry
- The dryer shutting off prematurely
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
