Description

A high limit thermostat that stops heat when a dryer's temperature gets too hot, helping protect the heating system and cabinet from overheating. It's a direct-replacement thermostat used in many gas and electric dryer heater assemblies. What it does:
  • Opens the heating circuit if temperatures exceed safe limits to prevent overheating.
  • Helps protect the heating element, housing, and internal components from heat damage.
  • A failed thermostat can cause no heat or intermittent heating in the dryer.
  • Works with the dryer's safety controls to maintain normal operating temperature.
What's included: One high limit thermostat. Install notes:
  • Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing; allow unit to cool completely.
  • Located on or near the heater box or blower housing; follow your model's service manual for access.
  • Replace with the exact part number to maintain original safety settings.
