Description

This rotary temperature selector switch lets you choose drying temperature settings, restoring user control over cycles and heat selection. It replaces a worn or non-responsive dryer temperature control to help the dryer operate as intended. What it does:

• Selects the dryer temperature setting for timed and automatic drying cycles
• Restores heat-control when a worn or stuck selector prevents setting temperature
• Addresses symptoms such as temperature not changing, selector knob that won't turn, or inconsistent drying results
• Works with the dryer's control circuitry to send the chosen temp signal to the heater/thermostat system

What's included: One rotary temperature selector switch. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electric shock
• Confirm electrical connections and knob alignment before reassembly
• Handle with care to avoid damaging terminals or the control panel
