Common Symptoms
- Dryer will not start
- Dryer runs but does not heat
- Intermittent heating or shutdown
- Slow or inefficient drying
- Hot or unusually strong-smelling exhaust
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power before inspection or testing.
- Check the lint filter and dryer exhaust path for lint buildup, blockage, or restricted airflow.
- With power disconnected, test the limiter for electrical continuity using an appropriate multimeter procedure; an open limiter should be replaced rather than bypassed.
- If the limiter is open, investigate airflow and overheating causes before installing a replacement.
- Confirm that wiring connectors are fully seated and show no visible damage.
Pro Tip
A failed thermal limiter can indicate restricted airflow. Clean the lint filter and verify the complete exhaust path before replacing the part.
