Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WE04X10094
This thermal limiter is a safety fuse designed to protect the dryer from overheating by cutting off power to the heating element if temperatures exceed safe limits. It is typically mounted on or near the heating element housing. Replace this part if the dryer is not heating at all, as a blown thermal limiter is a common cause of no-heat conditions often triggered by restricted airflow or a clogged vent.

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: 37001139
This kit includes a replacement heating element and a high limit thermostat for an electric dryer.

My dryer wasn't heating Jesus V. • Kissimmee , FL • March 27, 2017
PLEASE UNPLUG DRYER FIRST. This was my first attempt at trying to fix my dryer (Maytag SDE515DAYW). Order the element kit Part Number AP4046564. The installation was easier than I thought. Just removed the two front panels and I was able to reach the back of the dryer, under the drum (this is where the heat element was located), disconnected the wires (took pictures first) and removed the two screws that held the heat element. Pulled the part down and it just slid off. Connected all the wires...

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: WPW10419068
This temperature sensor mounts on the sealed-system gas inlet line in compatible refrigerators. It relays precise temperature feedback to the control so cooling and defrost cycles are managed correctly, helping maintain stable compartment temperatures. What it does:
- Senses temperature at the gas-inlet line; resistance changes are read by the control
- Helps regulate compressor, fan, and valve operation for proper cooling performance
- A failed sensor may cause erratic temperatures or extended run times
- Can correlate with control thermistor error codes or frost/ice patterns near the evaporator
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing
- Note original sensor placement and insulation; reinstall in the same location and orientation
- Attach the sensor firmly to the line and route the harness as originally, away from sharp, hot, or moving parts
- Do not open or puncture sealed-system tubing; if damage is suspected, stop.

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: WP3404153
This is a high limit thermostat that monitors the temperature inside the dryer's heating chamber and shuts off the heating element if temperatures exceed a safe threshold. It serves as a safety device to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. Replace this thermostat if your dryer is not heating at all, shuts off prematurely, or if a multimeter test shows no continuity through the thermostat.

20 year old Whirlpool dryer would stop mid cycle. Jonathan S. • Alexandria , VA • August 29, 2020
I don't have a multimeter so couldn't check all voltages or resistances on suspect parts. I assumed it had to be the two thermostat units - the thermostat or the dryer cycling thermostat. These were not expensive parts so ordered both and installed both. Very easy to remove back panel and replace with the new parts, making sure the OEM numbers were the same. Put back panel on, plugged back in and it fired right up - time will tell if these were the culprits. Not much left electronics wise on...

Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WE4M450
This dryer inlet thermostat monitors the temperature of incoming air and cycles the heater to maintain proper drying temperatures. Replacing a failed thermostat can restore consistent heat, help prevent overheating, and improve overall drying performance.
- Senses inlet air temperature and opens/closes electrical contacts to control the heat source
- Helps regulate drying temperature and protect against overheating
- Failure may present as long dry times, no or intermittent heat, overheating/shutting off, or erratic temperature swings
- Typically mounted on the air intake/duct or blower housing, depending on model
What's included: 1 inlet thermostat Install notes:
- Disconnect power before service; if gas, also shut off the gas supply
- Access the thermostat at the front duct or blower housing; note wire positions and transfer one at a time
- Mount flush against the metal surface with existing hardware to ensure proper sensing
- After installation, clear lint from ducting and vents to ensure proper airflow

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: W11545746
A thin pad-style moisture sensor that detects wetness levels during the dry cycle and sends signals to the dryer control so the machine can adjust drying time. Replaces a worn or damaged sensor to restore reliable moisture-sensing performance. What it does:
- Detects residual moisture in the drum or on clothing and communicates readings to the control board
- Helps the dryer end cycles when items reach the set dryness level to prevent over-drying
- Common symptoms of a failing pad: long or incomplete drying cycles, clothes still damp at cycle end, or inconsistent auto-dry behavior
- Works as the sensing surface that partners with the dryer's sensing system to measure conductivity/moisture
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
- Handle the sensor surface carefully; avoid touching conductive areas with bare hands or tools
- Install in the original mounting location and secure wiring connectors firmly; verify routing to avoid pinching

Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WE1M575
These moisture sensor rods detect how damp the load is and signal the control, helping the dryer stop at the right time. Replacing worn or coated rods restores accurate Auto Dry performance and reduces damp loads or overdrying.
- Measures moisture by sensing conductivity across the rods as clothes tumble
- Sends feedback to the timer/control to adjust cycle length on Sensor/Auto Dry
- Safe symptom matches: cycles end too soon or run too long, clothes remain damp, Auto Dry doesn't advance reliably
- Residue from dryer sheets/fabric softener can insulate the rods and affect readings
What's included: Moisture sensor rods Install notes:
- Disconnect power (and shut off gas supply for gas models) before servicing
- Access the rods at the front bulkhead/lint filter housing; panel removal may be required on some models
- Remove mounting fasteners, transfer wiring in the same orientation, and secure the new rods
- Ensure the sensing surfaces are clean and unobstructed; test on an Auto Dry cycle
Care tip: If the rods are just coated with residue, cleaning them with rubbing alcohol can improve sensing. Replace if pitted, damaged, or if issues persist.
