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.
