Common Symptoms

• No heat or insufficient heat., Heat that cuts out during operation., Excessive dryer temperature if the thermostat is not opening as designed.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect dryer power and allow the appliance to cool before inspection.
• Inspect the thermostat terminals and connected wires for loose connections, heat damage, or corrosion.
• Check the lint filter, exhaust duct, and exterior vent hood for restricted airflow, which can cause an over-temperature condition.
• With power disconnected and thermostat leads isolated, a qualified person can check for continuity while the thermostat is cool; do not bypass the thermostat to operate the dryer.
• If the thermostat is found open while cool or symptoms persist, evaluate the complete heating and airflow system rather than assuming this part alone is the cause.
