High Limit Kit LA-1053

Hi Gerry, Thank you for your inquiry. The thermostats that are listed under your model number are designed to work with your appliance. There is a high limit kit listed under your model number, part number PS2162282. The high limit kit comes with three separate thermal fuses for dryers. One electric thermal fuse with a limit of 258, one gas high limit at 240, and one gas and electric high limit thermostat with a limit at 300. The thermal fuse kit shuts off the motor in the dryer when it begins to overheat. If the dryer will not heat, is overheated, shuts off too soon, or takes too long to dry then the thermal fuse might have exploded and need to be replaced. For replacement instructions refer to the diagram by manufacturer. For safety, unplug the dryer before installing the part. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello John, Thank you for the question. The one with the Pink Dot is for the electric dryer. Hope this helps!

Hi Gerry, Thank you for getting back to us. Please accept our apologies that your previous question was misunderstood. These parts are listed under your model number and are designed to work with your appliance. To verify which part is causing the issue, you will need to check the continuity of each part with a multimeter. I hope this helps with the repair.

Hi Boyd, Thank you for your question. To verify if the switch is bad, you will need to test it with a multimeter. Disconnect the power source to your dryer before you conduct this or any other test. Either unplug the unit from the wall outlet, remove the appropriate fuse from the fuse box, or flip the appropriate breaker in the circuit breaker panel. Your dryer uses multiple thermostats to regulate its internal temperature. The cycle selected determines which thermostat is used. A cycling thermostat can be found somewhere in the path of air that is leaving the drum. It could be found on the blower wheel housing or inside the venting/exhaust system. Dryer thermostats are usually oval shaped and about an inch and a half in length. Also, there should be two wires leading to each thermostat. Label these wires before you remove them so that you are able to correctly reconnect them later. The wires leading to the thermostat are connected using metal slip on connectors. Remove the wires by pulling on the connectors, and not the wires themselves. It may be a good idea to use a pair of needle nosed pliers to help you. 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. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, per the manufacturer, this is the correct part for your appliance. The part has been changed from the original and should come with instructions for the install of the new parts. Good luck with your repair!

Hi Amit, Thank you for your question. You would have to buy the kit to get the fuse as that is the only way the part is sold. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Michael, Thank you for the question.I suggest checking the drum belt or the pulleys. If you wish to resubmit a new question with the model number of the appliance we will be able to verify the correct belt. Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Nathan, Thank you for contacting us. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the high limit thermostats, the belt, the door catch, the timer resistor assembly, the door switch, the timer assembly and the door switch. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Philip, Thank you for your question. There are a couple of parts that you could check. Your radient flame sensor, your thermistor, thermostats, and your ignitor. You can test all of these parts with a multi meter. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Jaime, Thank you for contacting us. I am sorry however I am not able to find any concrete information to advise whether or not you are able to interchange the parts, as often different countries have different safety standards. I suggest reaching out to a local technician or Asko directly. Good luck with your repair. Have a wonderful day!
