The Temperature Selector Switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This electro-mechanical switch allows consumers to choose between heat settings that adequately dry different fabric types.

The physical impacts of shifting internal contact positions could potentially lead to switching issues as well.

Symptoms of a faulty temperature selector involve:

• Inability to change heat level for desired drying performance  
• Temperature remaining stuck on highest or lowest settings
• Lint filter or duct cleaning lights failing to illuminate properly

This OEM replacement is compatible with some Kenmore and KitchenAid electric dryer models too.
