Norge Dryer DEP223V 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,.

This cycling thermostat regulates on/off heat cycles to maintain consistent operating temperature. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper temperature control and helps protect the appliance from overheating or underheating during normal operation.

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes contacts to control the heating circuit
• Helps prevent overheating; supports stable, repeatable heat cycling
• Common failure symptoms include no heat, overheating/shutting off too soon, or longer-than-normal run times
• Electrical component—failure may be intermittent before complete loss of function

• Disconnect power (and gas supply, if applicable) before service
• Note wire locations; transfer connectors one at a time to the new thermostat
• Mount firmly against the mating surface for accurate temperature sensing
• After installation, verify proper operation and temperature cycling

The Dryer Heating Element Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit is essential for the dryer's ability to generate hot air needed to efficiently dry clothes. The heating element works by converting electrical energy into heat, which is then circulated throughout the dryer drum to evaporate moisture from the laundry.

Over time, the heating element can burn out or become damaged, leading to a significant decrease in drying efficiency or the dryer not producing any heat at all. 

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Heating Element Kit include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying completely
• The dryer running but not generating any heat
• Unusual noises or smells during operation, indicating potential overheating or electrical issues
• The dryer repeatedly blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers

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