Common Symptoms
- Dryer will not heat
- Dryer overheats
- Dryer may stop running or fail to start when the thermal cut-off has opened
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power before servicing; shut off the gas supply for a gas dryer.
- Inspect the lint screen, exhaust duct, and external vent outlet for restricted airflow or blockage, since poor airflow can contribute to overheating.
- With the appliance disconnected from power, check the thermal cut-off and thermostat for continuity according to the dryer’s service documentation; do not rely on the kit alone to diagnose a no-heat condition.
- If the kit has opened, investigate airflow and other heating-system conditions before returning the dryer to service.
Pro Tip
A replacement kit may look different from the original because Whirlpool updated the part; compare the wiring and mounting arrangement with the model-specific service information before installation.
