6931EL3003C LG High Limit Thermostat

The High Limit Thermostat is a genuine OEM part designed for LG dryers, and it is compatible with certain Kenmore/Sears models as well. This component plays a crucial role in ensuring safety by monitoring the dryer's temperature to prevent it from reaching hazardous levels. It is typically installed in the heating chamber or the exhaust duct. When it senses excessively high temperatures, it will either cut off the heat source or shut down the dryer to mitigate the risk of overheating and potential fire hazards.

Over time, the High Limit Thermostat may malfunction due to a variety of factors such as electrical problems, a blocked vent system leading to overheating, or simply due to regular wear and tear.

Indicators of a malfunctioning High Limit Thermostat include:
- The dryer not heating up
- The dryer becoming too hot
- Clothes taking an unusually long time to dry or remaining damp after a cycle

Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the High Limit Thermostat can help ensure your dryer operates safely and efficiently.
