Whirlpool WP307250 Dryer Cycling Thermostat OEM Part

Replaced timer and cycling thermostat. cycling thermostat was the problem. For some reason it wasn't getting the message to the timer needed to cycle the dial.

Ordered several thermostats, very affordable, watched the do-it-yourself videos and replaced the old parts wih the new.

Replaced the Cycling Thermostat first didn’t solve the problem. Then the Gas Valve Coil Kit, fixed the problem.

I went through the machine testing for continuity until I located and could confirm that the gas igniter was faulty. I then replaced it with a 1/4 inch box wrench not completely removing the screw but just getting it to the point I could take it off and put it back on. I then went about replacing the coils which seemed to be tired and the blower thermostat. I didn't replace the fuse or the flame sensor because they were still working. Now the dryer does a better job faster than before. I bought all these parts for at least half the price of a visit from a tech and got the job done in a timely fashion. The hardest part was figuring out how to take the front of the dryer off so I could get to the parts. This involed two srcews at the bottom and 4 inside.

I bought several items at the advise of this site including sensors, but in the end it was the thermocouple and I’m so glad I bought it. It was one of the cheapest items. I ended up fixing my dryer myself for only $130 or so with tax and shipping. The information given on this site along the videos helped immensely, Thank you. Maytag made it easy to fix.
