Frigidaire Washer Dryer Combo FLXE52RBS8 Too hot

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.

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.
