The Thermal Fuse is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This safety device monitors and protects heating elements inside the dryer. If temperatures rise too high due to a blockage or other issue, the fuse automatically opens the electrical circuit to cease further heating. 

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• Dryer failing to heat or stay warm during cycles
• Fluctuating or inconsistent heat levels  
• Tripped circuit breakers after drying

Causes of failure involve wear or damage from years of high heat exposure. Over time, components become brittle and less responsive.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with some Kenmore, Admiral, Roper, and Estate dryer models. 

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:

• Clothes taking too long to dry
• The dryer not heating at all
• The dryer overheating
• Erratic or inconsistent drying temperatures

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

This multi-temperature cycling thermostat regulates the dryer's drum heat, switching the heater on and off to match the temperature setting you choose. It can help restore consistent drying if temperatures are erratic, loads run too hot, or cycles take too long.

• Maintains target temperature by opening and closing the heater circuit across multiple heat settings
• Provides calibrated temperature control for safe, efficient drying
• Failure may present as no heat or low heat, overheating, very long dry times, or inconsistent temperatures
• Intended for models with multiple temperature selections

• Unplug the dryer; shut off gas supply if applicable. Allow the appliance to cool before servicing.
• Take a photo of wire positions; move wires to the new thermostat one at a time to matching terminals and ensure snug connections.
• Remove/install mounting screws and seat the thermostat flat against the mating surface for proper sensing.
• After reassembly, clear lint passages and verify proper vent airflow.

• If there's no heat at all, also check the thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, heating element (electric), or igniter/burner components (gas).
• Restricted venting can mimic thermostat issues and cause overheating or long dry times.

The Thermal Cutoff is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This cutoff component plays a crucial role in starting and stopping power to the dryer during operation. It does so through a sensitive thermal limiter that responds to temperature changes inside the dryer drum. 

Causes of a bad cutoff can include damage or wear to the thermal limiter over time, loosening of internal wiring connections, or issues with the cutoff's electronic components. 

Symptoms of a bad thermal cutoff include: 

• The dryer not turning on at all
