Installation & Diagnostic Notes
- Disconnect the dryer from electrical power before service.
- For gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply before disassembly.
- Verify the original thermostat part number and temperature marking before replacement.
- Photograph and label wiring before disconnecting the original thermostat.
- Inspect the lint filter, blower housing, exhaust duct, outside vent, heating element or burner, thermistor, and related thermostats for the cause of overheating.
- Install the replacement in the same position and reconnect all wiring securely.
- Reassemble all panels before restoring power or gas.
Important: A high-limit thermostat is a safety device. If it has opened or repeatedly fails, do not simply bypass it or continue operating the dryer. Correct the underlying airflow or heating-system problem first.
