Magic Chef Dryer DG20F5AM Too hot

The Dryer Thermostat Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit includes a high-limit thermostat and a thermal fuse, both of which are crucial for regulating the dryer’s temperature. The high-limit thermostat prevents the dryer from overheating, while the thermal fuse will cut off power if a critical temperature is exceeded, ensuring safety. The kit includes a high-limit thermostat (WP53-0771) and two thermal fuses (WP53-1096 & WP53-1182).

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Thermostat Kit include:

• The dryer not heating properly or at all, leading to clothes remaining damp after a cycle.
• Overheating of the dryer, which can be dangerous and cause additional component failure.
• The dryer stopping unexpectedly or not starting, indicating a blown thermal fuse.

Causes of issues with the thermostat or thermal fuse can include lint build-up that blocks proper airflow, faulty heating elements that cause temperature fluctuations, or general wear and tear that affects component integrity.

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