Cycling themostats continually cycle the heating element off and on to maintain a constant inner temperature. This particular cycling thermostat has a limit of 140 degrees Fahrenheit and a differential of 10 degrees. Meaning that with this thermostat, the heating element will cut out at 140 degrees and cycle back on once the internal temperature drops by 10 degrees.

Dryer would not turn on
Troubleshooting was the hardest thing to do in this repair. the first thing I found wrong was the thermal overload was bad. That was easy to replace since that is on top of the housing for the heating coils and easy to reach. Only 2 screws hold it in place. Once I replaced that the dryer would start but, the temperature was off the chart
... Read more. Now I know why that part broke. The control Thermostat was a little harder. That is held in by 2 screws but it is in an awkward place. I replace the 2 slotted screws with nut driver type screw which made it easier to place the screws in such a small area. Once the control thermostat was replaced the dryer worked great

I have the control thermostat replacement part but i want to make sure i put it in the correct side up so that the proper wires connect to the proper places.
For model number DBL333EB4CC
Hello Emily, Thank you for the question. You will need to place the thermostat so the wording and numbers on the sticker are pointing more upwards. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

So the dryer spins, but there is no heat at all. What part what that be so i dont have to buy 3 parts andpossibly replace parts that dont need to be. Or how can i troubleshoot this. I mean i know its something to do with a heating element but how to find the right one
For model number WSM2700HCWWW
Hello Wes, thank you for reaching out. We would recommend testing the Heating Element for continuity with a multimeter. If there is no continuity, replace it with part number PS265652. If that does not take care of the issue, we would suggest replacing the Control Thermostat, part number PS265265. The Control Thermostat monitors and regulates the temperature inside the dryer. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order, anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope that helps.
