Roper Dryer REL4622BL0 Too hot

The Thermal Cut-Off Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This safety kit is designed to protect the dryer from overheating by interrupting the heat source when the dryer air temperature reaches dangerously high levels. The kit typically includes one high-limit thermostat and one thermal cut-off fuse. These components are critical for preventing potential fire hazards by ensuring that the dryer operates within safe temperature ranges.

Symptoms of a failing thermal cut-off kit include:

• Dryer not heating up at all, as the thermal fuse may have been triggered
• Excessive heat in the dryer, prior to the fuse being triggered
• Frequent stopping of the dryer during cycles

Causes of thermal cut-off failure often involve restricted airflow (from lint buildup or obstructed vents), component failure within the heating system, or issues with the dryer cycling thermostat that cause abnormal heating.

This OEM part is also compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, and other brands manufactured by Whirlpool.

The Cycling Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It regulates and monitors the temperature inside the dryer during the drying cycle. It ensures that the dryer doesn't overheat and prevents potential damage to clothes or the dryer itself.

Causes of a faulty cycling thermostat can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues, or sensor malfunction.

Symptoms of a bad cycling thermostat may include:

• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• Inconsistent drying results
• Overheating or burning smell
• The dryer not heating at all

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 Hi-Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the dryer operates at safe temperatures by cutting off power to the heating element if the dryer overheats. This safety mechanism helps prevent potential fires and damage to the appliance.

Common causes of a bad thermostat include normal wear and tear, exposure to excessive heat, or electrical malfunctions.

Symptoms of a bad hi-limit thermostat include:

• The dryer not heating
• The dryer overheating
• The dryer shutting off unexpectedly during a cycle
• Longer drying times

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