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.

Hello Ethan, You would access the thermal limiter on the heater assembly by lifting the main top on unit. To do this you would use a putty knife in between the main top and the cabinet of unit on either side. There are clips to depress and lift top. Once top is lifted the thermal fuse is at the back of the unit.

Rick for Model Number FER311FS0

My electric dryer wasn't heating so I replaced the heating element with a new one because the old one was visually broken. I thought that would have fixed it but (Still no heat) I replaced the high limit thermostat (I think its called anyhow) its located and mounted up above the heating element and now I have VERY limited heat(slightly warm) but nothing NEAR what it should be, theres no obstructions of any sort in the dryer so I know thats not a cause, I know theres correct voltage to the dryer also, what would you suggest next?

1 Answer

Rick, You've pretty much coverred most heater issues. Are you sure you have 240 VAC at the element terminals, when the dryer is heating ? when you re constructed the dryer, are you sure the blower seal and the tumbler seal on the front panel were properly seated and sealing. and did you check to see if there was a clog or lint build up in the air duct, under the filter? Also check and make sure all the connections at the terminal block on the back of the dryer a proper and tight.

Hello Shell. Try running the dryer without the vent attached and see if the limiter blows. If so, the cycling thermostat may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit.
