Whirlpool W10169881 Thermal Cut-Off (Tml) OEM Part

The first part we ordered was the heating element. The dryer still wasn't heating so we ordered the thermostat. We received the thermostat, and got it put in the dryer still wasn't heating so I consulted my dryer manual and found out that even though there was electric to the dryer it still might not heat if the breaker was not all the way on, so I reset the breaker and voilà had heat. Working very well now.

Checked the heating element and found that it was shot so I bought a new one with out checking the thermostat and the cutoff-tml. I received the new element and it still wasn't heating so I had to wait another week for the cutoff-tml to be delivered. If your dryer isn't heating, make sure you check all parts of the heating system with a multimeter before you order new parts.

Replaced fuses thermo and heating element

Our dryer was not heating. We started looking around online and came across appliance parts pros.com. Watched a couple videos on troubleshooting, and figured out the thermal cutoff was bad. It was very easy to test with only basic tools and an ohm meter. We ordered a new thermal cutoff and thermostat kit from appliance parts pros($40). Shipping was very fast($8.50), ordered Sunday and the parts arrived the following Tuesday. Dryer is working great again! AppliancePartsPros.com made it very easy, will be back if any other appliances breakdown. Thanks
