Installation & Diagnostic Notes
- Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas supply before service.
- Confirm the thermal cut-off is open with an appropriate continuity test before replacement.
- Inspect and clean the lint screen housing, internal lint path, exhaust duct, vent hose, and outside vent hood.
- Check the burner area, cycling/high-limit controls, thermistor, and related wiring for an overheating cause.
- Install the replacement in the same mounting position and reconnect terminals securely.
- Reassemble the dryer completely before restoring gas and electrical power.
Safety note: A thermal cut-off is a protective device, not the root cause of overheating. Do not bypass it. Repeated failure indicates an unresolved airflow, burner, control, or temperature-regulation problem.
