Electrolux Dryer EIGD55HMB0 Too hot

The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It serves as a critical safety device, designed to cut off the power to the heating element if the dryer overheats. This thermostat helps prevent potential fire hazards by maintaining a safe operating temperature within the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad High Limit Thermostat include:

• The dryer not heating up at all, indicating that the thermostat may have tripped or failed permanently.
• Dryer repeatedly shutting off during cycles, which can be a sign that the thermostat is tripping too frequently due to overheating issues.
• Excessive heat in the dryer, suggesting that the thermostat is not functioning properly and failing to regulate the temperature.

Causes of a bad high limit thermostat can include restricted airflow due to a clogged lint filter or venting system, malfunctioning heating elements that generate excessive heat, or simply the thermostat wearing out over time.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
