Whirlpool WP35001087 Thermostat OEM Part

Changed Thermistor, Thermostats and the Thermal Fuse Assembly. I did not remove drum, so squeezing my hands in-between drum and vent hose pipe to remove screws was a tight fit, but doable.

I bought a OHM /Continuity tester for about $37 , watched some U tube , found your website which showed great pictures of my dryer, and showed what the top problems /fixes were. I tested my thermostat at room temp- it showed no continuity - i ordered the part - came in a few days and replaced it and it worked. Our local appliance repair service wanted $98 just to come out. the kid on utube took apart machine was very helpful he was replacing his rollers

I bought a thermistor and thermostat. The thermostat was the problem because the dryer would get so hot that it would wrinkle the clothes and when it got extremely hot the thermister would short to prevent a fire from occurring.

I replaced the thermostat and the thermistor and it worked fine. Also the customer service and the chat with pros were very helpfull.

I initially decided to replace the flame sensor (most common failure), the high cut-off thermostat, the thermistor & moisture sensor (since the auto cycle didn’t seem to work at all), and the igniter (after I may have damaged it while cleaning the heat chamber). I added the remaining thermostat since everything else was being replaced. This did NOT fix my problem. After several google searches, I came across a post that described weak gas valve coils that would work for several cycles, then would not be strong enough to open the valve. This sounded exactly like my situation, so I ordered the coils only ($18 versus $260 for the entire valve assembly). This fixed my problem. The thermistor and moisture sensor were probably good replacements since the auto cycle works fine again.
