Causes of a bad rotor position sensor can include wear and tear from extended use agitating heavy loads, breakage from impact or moisture damage, or compromised wiring over time.
Symptoms of a bad rotor position sensor include:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.
I was having trouble with my Kenmore Front Load washer. It wouldn't finish the wash cycle...it kept displaying an LE Error code. After I went to Google to help diagnose the problem, which was a bad RPS Sensor, I ordered the part from AppliancePartsPros.com. It literally took about 15-20 mins and with the help of my son-in-law, my washing machine was fixed!! It was going to cost me $85.00 for the Sears repairman to walk in my door, not including parts and labor, and I only paid $27.00... Read more
Dryer not drying evenly or shutting off too soon? A faulty outlet thermistor causes inaccurate heat control. This sensor monitors exhaust temperature.
The Cycling Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This thermostat regulates the temperature inside the dryer by cycling the heating element on and off to maintain a consistent temperature. .
Causes of a bad cycling thermostat can include wear and tear over time, electrical faults, or damage due to overheating.
Symptoms of a bad Cycling Thermostat include:
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
I removed the front panel and observed the heating element while running the dryer. It was cycling off every minute or so and staying off for several minutes. Even though it was likely the high temp cycling thermostat I replaced both the 14, and 15 cycling thermostats which I think are the original factory units. That makes them nearly 35 years old. Problem fixed. Read more
Fix excessive frost buildup in your freezer with a new defrost thermostat. This sensor regulates defrost cycles to prevent ice on coils. DIY repair in 10-20 minutes.
This is a 15 yr old Kenmore (GE) refrigerator with top mounted freezer... I knew, for awhile, that I had a DEFROST problem. That was causing water to collect on the inside bottom of the fridge, under the veg./fruit bins. And then occasionally run out onto the kitchen floor if I didn't sop up the water inside. But I delayed the repair because of the hassle of emptying the food, top and bottom, and finding temporary homes for it all. Until I noticed 3 things happen in short order. 1)The water... Read more
This replacement part is a high-limit thermostat, and it is intended for use in different types of appliances. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. This high-limit thermostat is typically found in dryers and controls the heat inside the drying tub. This is especially important as different dryer settings require different amounts of heat. If the high limit thermostat works properly, the temperature inside the tub should reach the correct amount during each drying cycle with no issues. A new high-limit thermostat might be needed if the user notices that the dryer is unable to reach the appropriate level of heat for a certain drying cycle. This is also true if the dryer is becoming too hot when the heat is supposed to be set to low. Make sure the dryer is cooled down prior to replacing this part as the areas in the back of the dryer can become very hot during use. Be sure to reference the specific user manual for more instructions on how to replace the thermostat. This thermostat is sold individually and is a genuine OEM part. The thermostat is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

Dryer won't heat or stops heating? This high limit thermostat monitors heater housing temperature and cuts power if it overheats. Easy DIY fix.
Washing machine should have been an easy fix that I had done before but ran into problems with the upper bearing and the bearing diameter on the shaft (a no go situation). By the time I was able to get the bearing seated I had damaged the new bearing. Much to my surprise Cierra in customer service sent me out a new bearing kit. I was then able to get the washer up and running with the new bearing kit and motor stator replacement. The dryer was a matter of replacing all of the electrical... Read more
Fix a dryer that won't heat properly or overheats with this thermostat. Senses exhaust temperature to regulate heat cycles and prevent damage.
This cycling thermostat regulates exhaust temperature by switching the heater on and off to maintain proper drying heat. Replacing a failed thermostat restores consistent temperatures, helps auto-dry timing, and protects against fabric-damaging overheating.
I went ahead and ordered the element, and the 2 different thermostats not knowing exactly which one might be the problem. My My Maytag opens from the front and it was actually pretty easy to get into. Also gave me the opportunity to vacuum out the inside of the dryer. Pop the top off, remove the wires that connect the door switch (noting the colors and placement), take off the 2 inside nuts that hols the fron on, pull it forward and lift it off, 3 inside screws to take out to inside lint part...

Dryer not heating or overheating? A failed limit thermostat stops heat when temps climb too high. Simple DIY fix restores safe, reliable drying.
Ice maker freezing over or heavy frost buildup? This defrost thermostat controls your refrigerator's defrost heater. Moderate DIY repair with video guide.
Got the infamous icemaker freezing up problem so common to Frigidaire Gallery and Professional series refrigerators. I was also only getting the "OP" code on the diagnostic test 26, so I determined the defrost heater and/or the thermostat was probably bad. So, I went ahead and replaced both of them, as well as installed the updated air handler housing kit. What I didn't realize from the parts pictures was that the air handler kit was not only updated foam replacements, but it was also a... Read more
Fixes dryers that won't shut off, run too hot, or take too long to dry. This cycling thermostat regulates drum temperature. 15-minute DIY repair.
Put both thermostats in as I did not know if the unit was cycling on high limit at times. Fixed both issues plus I used my lawn blower and blew all the lint out of dryer and short 3' hose. I also lubed rear drum bearings. Works like new. Ron R Read more
This sensor harness connects the dryer's moisture sensor bars to the main wiring, helping the control or timer read moisture levels so Auto Dry cycles can advance and deliver consistent, reliable drying performance.
Replaced 3 low cost parts as advised by Appliance Parts Pros. Saved the labor costs by troubleshooting and replacing parts with their great videos. Works like new, and took 15 minutes to complete the repair. Read more
This is a temperature sensor that monitors the internal temperature of the refrigerator compartment and sends readings to the main control board. The control board uses this data to regulate the compressor and cooling cycles. Replace this sensor if the refrigerator is too warm, too cold, runs continuously, or displays incorrect temperature readings.
I removed the defrost sensor assembly, installed a new one, it worked. Because of a shipping problem with FEDEX, Appliancepartspros resent the parts not once but twice. Needless to say, they are my go-to source for parts from now on. Read more
The Pressure Sensor is an OEM replacement part for LG dryers. This sensor monitors the airflow or pressure within the dryer, helping to regulate drying cycles and ensure efficient operation. By detecting blockages or changes in airflow, it plays a critical role in maintaining proper performance and preventing overheating.
Over time, the pressure sensor can fail due to wear, electrical issues, or buildup of lint and debris. Damage to the sensor or its connections can cause the dryer to operate inefficiently or stop functioning altogether.
Symptoms of a bad pressure sensor include:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore dryers.
