WP3403607 Whirlpool Thermal Cutoff for Dryers

Thermal Cutoff for Dryers. Thermal Protector.

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The thermal cutoff is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for use in Whirlpool dryers. This component is essential for regulating the power supply to the dryer, activating or deactivating it based on the internal temperature detected by the thermal limiter.

The deterioration of the thermal cutoff can result from several factors such as aging or damage to the thermal limiter, loosening of the wiring connections, or problems with the electronic elements of the cutoff.

Indicators of a malfunctioning thermal cutoff are:

- The dryer does not start.
- The dryer continues running beyond the set cycle.
- Inconsistent heat levels during the drying process.
- Noticeable buzzing or clicking sounds emanating from the area around the cutoff.

This specific Whirlpool part is also suitable for use with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
