Dryer replacement component

I was pretty sure my cycling thermostat was to blame for my dryer repeatedly shutting off for 20 minutes after one minute of run time, thereby overheating and triggering the shutdown. Bought this kit, not because I needed the other 3 parts, but because it was inexpensive and got good reviews. Swapped out the cycling thermostat but that didn’t fix the problem. Then the hi-limit thermostat, still no fix. Changed the thermal fuse and we’ve got a functioning dryer again. Not exactly sure why this fixed the issue, as the symptoms didn’t point to a faulty thermal fuse IMO. But I’m relieved by the outcome, and equally pleased that I inadvertently ordered the entire kit with “unnecessary” parts instead of just the part I thought to be faulty. Definitely recommend, and it will be nice to have those extra parts on hand should something else break in the next 25 years of this dryer’s life.

Helped fix my dryer. The piece was just what I needed. Easy to replace exact fit. Dryer Approved.

The parts are good and the dryer is back working.

My 2009 Roper/Whirlpool electric dryer wouldn't advance on the "Energy Preferred" setting, but it ran fine on the 30-minute high/low/fluff cycles, so I knew that the timer motor in the cycle knob was good, and the high limit fuse was good, and I'd already replaced the old heating element. Replacing the thermistor did the trick and now I can throw wet clothes into the dryer and get out dry clothes after a reasonable hour and a half or so, just like when it was new. It's only been a couple of weeks, so I don't know about the longevity of these parts versus the original Whirlpool parts that lasted over 10 years. However, even if I have to replace the thermistor once a year for the next ten years and even if I bought this pack over again for $20 and threw all of the other parts away, that would only be $200, which is much less than I would spend on a new dryer today. I certainly expect it will last longer than a year. The most expensive complex part of these dryers is the motor, and that's made pretty well. The other parts are either cheap or not hard to jerry rig. The parts most likely to fail are what you'll get here for very little money, so it can't hurt to try. Replacing the thermistor is a matter of 1) unplug the dryer 2) remove the back panel (8-10 screws) 3) find the original thermistor 4) remove the 1/4in screw (you might get by with a flathead screwdriver) and the two wires (needlenose pliers might help, but be gentle), and 5) see 4), 3), 2), 1) :-) Interestingly, the thermistor isn't actually needed for the dryer to run, but I think it runs full blast all of the time, which is a waste of energy, destructive to your clothes, and makes it a pain to do laundry since you can't just start the dryer and go to bed.

Thought I needed to replace the fuse on my dryer. On the replacement part website, the fuse alone cost $26. Not a horrible price but this package came with the fuse, and all of the thermostats for $13. No brainer in my opinion. We replaced the fuse and all the thermostats and now my dryer works like new. It turned out that my fuse and thermostats were all relatively easy to get to and replace but ease of installation will be based upon the style of dryer and where the fuse/ thermostats are located. I am very satisfied with this product.

Great product!

The parts looked like the original parts that they replaced; they installed/fit without any issues; and they have apparently fixed my problem because the dryer is once again getting warm and working just fine now. I had tried replacing just the 390F thermal fuse a few months earlier but it burned out again. This led me to suspect that a thermostat was the real cause of the problem. Replacing all four components at once seems to have done the trick. I usually shop the repair parts outlets despite the higher cost because they offer better technical support, but I have to say that this vendor provided excellent online guidance for the repair and had a significantly lower price.

This was my fault, I ordered the wrong number, I had a much bigger problem. I would have to replace the motherboard, it was still overheating after replacing all the small parts. When your dryer goes out the first thing I would check is the thermal fuse check for continuity. Mine was definitely out. So I used the thermal fuse in this kit but it was the only part I could use. It turns out I have a problem at the motherboard and I was not spending anymore moneyThe dryer was already 10 years old I bought a new one

Good

Tout était parfait, Merci !!
