Kitchenaid Dryer KEYL410BAL2 Doesn't shut off

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.

The Washer Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is crucial for ensuring the washer operates safely by detecting whether the door is open or closed. The door switch prevents the washer from starting or continuing its cycle when the door is open, and it allows the machine to function only when the door is securely closed.

Symptoms of a failing Washer Door Switch include:

• The washer not starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle
• Error codes related to door closure issues displayed on the washer's control panel
• The washer door not locking properly or the lock mechanism not engaging
• The washer continuing to operate with the door open

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from repeated opening and closing of the door, electrical faults such as short circuits, or physical damage from mishandling or impact.

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

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 Door Latch Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washers. This component is responsible for securely locking the washer door during the wash cycle, preventing it from opening unexpectedly and ensuring a safe and efficient operation.

Symptoms of needing to replace the door latch kit include:

• Difficulty in closing or latching the washer door
• Door opening unexpectedly during the wash cycle
• Leaks or water seeping due to an improper door seal
• Excessive wear or damage to the latch components

Causes of a faulty door latch kit can include normal wear and tear over time, physical damage due to impact or mishandling, or issues with the door alignment or strike plate.

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

The Door Switch Lever is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a vital role in ensuring the dryer only operates when the door is securely closed by engaging with the door switch to signal the door's status.

Causes of a bad door switch lever can include normal wear and tear from repeated use, physical damage from accidental impact, or deformation from heat and humidity inside the dryer. A faulty lever can prevent the dryer from starting or stopping correctly.

Symptoms of a bad door switch lever include:

• Dryer not starting
• Dryer stopping mid-cycle
• Door not latching properly
• The dryer continuing to run with the door open

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

This fixed-value resistor is an electrical component used in select dryers to limit current in a specific control circuit. It helps the timer or electronic control operate correctly by dropping voltage to safe, design-intended levels.

• Provides precise resistance to reduce voltage/current in the designated dryer circuit
• Supports proper operation of the timer, control board, or end-of-cycle signal (varies by model)
• Failure may present as a timer that won't advance, an inoperative signal/buzzer, or irregular cycle behavior
• Replace if visibly burned/damaged or if testing shows an open or shorted condition

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the console/wiring harness and note original wire routing
• Make secure, insulated connections and route the resistor/leads exactly as original to avoid heat or chafing
• After installation, run a test cycle to ensure proper operation of the affected function
