Estate Dryer TEDS840JQ2 Too hot

This Dryer Cycling Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It monitors internal temperatures and cycles power to the heating element accordingly. The thermostat ensures the drying air reaches and maintains the optimal heat level selected for fast, effective drying results.

Symptoms of a bad cycling thermostat include:

• The dryer not heating or heating inconsistently  
• Frequent trips of the circuit breaker
• Slower than normal drying times
• Burned clothes due to overheating

Causes of failure may be related to normal wear over time, dust buildup affecting sensor readings, or incorrect thermostat calibration. 

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This dryer thermal cut-off kit is an authentic OEM replacement part for Whirlpool and Kenmore dryers. It is designed to prevent the dryer from overheating.

This Kit Includes:

• High Limit Thermostat (250°F Limit)
• A Cut Off Fuse (309°F Limit)
• Female Spade Terminals
• Jumper Wires

Over time, these components can fail due to electrical issues, lint buildup blocking the exhaust vent, or normal wear and tear. A malfunctioning thermal cut-off kit can result in overheating, which can pose a safety hazard and affect the dryer’s performance.

Symptoms of a bad Thermal Cut-Off Kit include:

• Dryer not heating
• Dryer overheating
• Dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• No response when attempting to start the dryer

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Hi-Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It functions as a critical safety device that monitors and controls the temperature within the dryer, preventing it from overheating. When the dryer reaches a temperature that is too high, this thermostat will cut off the power to the heating element to mitigate the risk of fire.

Symptoms of a bad Hi-Limit Thermostat include:

• Dryer not heating adequately or at all
• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• The dryer repeatedly shutting off during a cycle
• Excessive heat emitted from the dryer even on lower settings

Causes of a bad Hi-Limit Thermostat can include a malfunction due to electrical issues, lint buildup causing restricted airflow and increased temperature, or failure of other components like the cycling thermostat that can cause the dryer to overheat.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
