It was taking unusually long to dry a typical load Robert L. • Williamsburg , VA • November 15, 2014
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.

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
What's included: 1 cycling thermostat Install notes:
- 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.
Diagnostic tips:
- 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.

Whirlpool Thin Twin mod LTE5243DZ2 dryer ran but was not creating heat David G. • York Springs , PA • July 17, 2019
I checked the continuity on the thermal fuse (which was blown) and knew that it needed to be replaced. This made me question why it blew (i.e. what caused it to fail). I checked continuity on the thermostat (high limit) as well as the thermostat for the element. Both passed a continuity test, so I removed the high limit thermostat to inspect it and could hear it rattling inside. This leads me to believe the spring inside had failed, so I replaced this thermostat as well. Put it back...
