✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Dryer becomes too hot
• Dryer shuts off too soon or loses heat after warming up
• No heat or insufficient heat after the thermostat opens
• Clothes take too long to dry

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
• With power disconnected and the thermostat at room temperature, check continuity across its terminals with a multimeter; an open reading may indicate a failed thermostat, subject to the model’s wiring and service specifications.
• Inspect the thermostat terminals and wiring for loose connections, burning, or heat damage.
• Check the lint filter, exhaust duct, and outside exhaust hood for restricted airflow, since blocked airflow can contribute to overheating.
• Do not bypass the thermostat or test live voltage unless qualified to do so.
