Customer Questions and Answers for Temperature Limiter by Bosch

The Temperature Limiter is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch vented dryers requiring controlled airflow temperatures. As a safety device, it restricts exhaust heat to prevent overheating risks.  

Precisely calibrated links of heat-treated alloys automatically trip circuits upon exceeding preset thermal thresholds. Protected housings shield reactive cores from moisture while allowing intended response capabilities.

Causes often involve years of exposure distorting sensitive triggering components slow to cool cycles. Intentional physical manipulation could also disable protection absent automatic overrides.

Symptoms of a bad temperature limiter include:

• Inability to sense and respond to rising exhaust air temperatures  
• Lack of functioning cool-down phases from disabled safety trips
• Continuously energized heating systems without regulation posing risks

This OEM Bosch replacement limiter is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore dryers employing sensitive temperature cutoffs. Correct installation restores critical safety control circuits.
