Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This high limit thermostat is an essential safety component for dryers, designed to automatically shut off the heating element if the internal temperature exceeds safe operating levels. By regulating heat output, it helps prevent overheating and potential damage to the appliance. This OEM replacement part ensures reliable performance and compatibility with select dryer models. Installation should be performed with the dryer unplugged, and appropriate safety precautions—such as wearing protective gloves and consulting the appliance manual—are recommended to ensure a safe and accurate repair.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money

Dryer wasn't heating.
Replaced high limit thermostat and thermal cutoff. Dryer works like a champ. Reviewed couple of YouTube videos that showed clearly how to get to the effected parts, test them and replace them. I had an old front loading dryer once before that I repaired a couple of times but these parts were accessible by removing a panel on the

We have a very early model of the He3. We had to follow directions for the He2 model to replace the heater element and thermostat. Access is easy through the front panel, but removing and replacing the element required some force and maneuvering in a small area.
We replaced both the element and the thermostat since we had the

How do i test this part to ensure it has failed
For model number YWED80HEBW0
Hello Gerald, thank you for your question. Testing a thermostat is easy! Set your multimeter to the R X 1 setting. Take each of your meter's probes and touch one to each terminal. You are testing for continuity, and you should receive a reading of either zero or infinity. At room temperature, testing the thermostat should produce a reading of zero. But if a thermostat is tested when it is heated to its limit, a reading of infinity should be produced. We strongly recommend that you test your thermostat at room temperature. If the test you conduct with your thermostat does not produce these results, then you should replace the component. I hope this helps!

Is this thermostat the same as the one that comes with the thermal cut off?
For model number WED9200SQ1
Hello Elisa, Thank you for the question. Yes, this sit he Thermostat that is included in the Thermal Cut-Off with High Limit Thermostat, PartSelect Number PS991443. We recommend replacing both parts in the kit at the same time. We hope this helps.
How do you test this part as it has 2 large and 2 small terminals. What are normal or abnormal results?
For model number wed9400sw
Hello James, Thank you for contacting us. Test each set of terminals. With your multi-meter on the Rx1 setting, you should receive a reading of zero or infinity. Hope this helps.

I've checked this and I believe the other one is the heat cut off and both have perfect continuity. My dryer turns on sometimes but won't start the times it does turn on. Any idea what that might be? Thanks
For model number WED8000DW4
Hello Raul, Thank you for the question. We suggest testing the Door Switch to check the continuity. Make sure it is secure as well so when the door is closed the switch is getting activated and tells the controls the door is closed. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

On my dryer, 1 of the 2 wires that plug into my heating element keeps melting at the connection. What would cause this to happen? I checked the continuity of the element and it is good. I have replaced the thermostat and the thermal fuse. The thermal fuse blew after drying one load. Not sure what to check next and why the wire is melting at the connection.
For model number Wed9500tw2
Hi Chad, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the exhaust pipes and lint ducks to make sure they are not blocked. Lint and moisture can block them over time and cause over heating of the element. Hope this helps!
