Common Symptoms
- Dryer overheats
- Dryer does not heat or produces insufficient heat
- Dryer takes too long to dry
- Dryer may stop heating too soon or fail to maintain normal cycling temperature
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power before servicing and allow the dryer to cool.
- Verify that the lint screen, exhaust duct, and outside vent are clear; restricted airflow can also cause overheating or poor drying.
- Inspect the thermostat wiring and terminals for loose, damaged, or heat-discolored connections.
- With power disconnected and the wires removed from the thermostat, check continuity according to the appliance service information and the specific terminal pairs for this five-terminal design.
- Do not condemn the thermostat from symptoms alone; verify related airflow, heating, thermal-limit, ignition, and control components as applicable to the dryer.
Pro Tip
A thermostat symptom is not conclusive: check airflow and other more commonly defective heating and safety components before replacing this part.
