WPW10423382 Whirlpool Dryer High Limit Thermostat

Dryer High Limit Thermostat

Whirlpool manufactures products under various brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The high limit thermostat and thermal cut-out fuse kit from Whirlpool is an OEM replacement part designed to ensure dryer safety and temperature control.

The high-limit thermostat monitors and regulates the dryer’s internal temperature. If the temperature exceeds the safe operating range, it cuts off the electricity to the heating element. The thermal cut-out fuse adds another layer of safety by disconnecting power to the heating element if it senses extremely high temperatures.

This part addresses the following issues:

- The dryer not heating or producing insufficient heat
- The dryer running too hot, which could lead to overheating or fire risks
- The dryer shutting off before completing the cycle

The Whirlpool high limit thermostat kit is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
