This harness high-limit assembly connects the oven/dryer high-limit thermostat to the control system to help protect against overheating. It replaces a damaged or worn high-limit wiring harness to restore proper thermal cutoff signaling. What it does:
- Routes electrical connections between the high-limit thermostat/thermal cutoff and the appliance control
- Allows the high-limit device to open the circuit when temperatures exceed safe limits
- Common symptom: appliance fails to heat or repeatedly trips a thermal cutoff
- Common symptom: visible damaged/frayed wires or loose connector fit at the high-limit
What's included:
- One high-limit harness assembly as shown
Install notes:
- Disconnect all power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting service
- Use basic hand tools; ensure connectors are fully seated and insulated

Dryer would not start. Kelli H. • Rowlett , TX • October 28, 2020
Ordered starter switch, door switch and thermal assembly. I put new starter switch in and did not fix. Then put in new door switch and again did not fix. The thermal assembly required more intense take down of the machine, so I called a repairman. He determined it was the thermal assembly that was bad and he would have to order the part. I told him I had that part.
We now have a functioning dryer. ????
