New and Improved
Attaching plate has 1 screw and a hook on the other side. This is better than the original design with 2 screws where that second screw is the hardest to reach when replacing. I finally replaced the thermal cut-off after successfully resetting the original several times ( whack the sensor and check it for electrical continuity), but eventually it gets sloppy and flips too easily, so I recommend just going with the new one. Suggestion: After popping off the front access panel, lay the dryer on its side. Your arm/shoulder position working those screws is much improved and gravity is on your side!

Dryer quit heating.
This dryer is 30 plus years old. I am a 71 year old female that has never taken on this type of repair. First I very carefully ordered all parts possibly associated with this problem. Watched all videos available for this model. Could not find one at Parts Select that addressed this particular dryer. Model number was correct. Finally
... Read morefound YouTube video that addressed an "Old Kenmore Wood Top". It showed the correct way to remove the Heating Element unit. Also Parts Select never mentions that fuses and sensors are not "polarized". Very important info for a novice. But Google helped me with that. Heating Element is "polarized", very important not to cross wires. I did order a couple Heating Element Connection Wire Kits that were not needed for this repair. Got all parts replaced, put dryer back together, crossed my fingers and turned it on, so far it has been working really well. I chose to replace all the parts I did because of the dryers age, plus I am not familiar with multimeters. Didn't want to risk one old part messing up a new part. Thank you Parts Select. It is not a 2 hr. repair, but I worked slowly, didn't want to make any mistakes. It would be good if everyone is aware of some of the above information and the YouTube video done by an individual on this particular dryer.
I squeeze the cable connection to heating element so the thermal fuse does not cut the electrical current. The loose connection cause the thermal fuse to blow.
unplug the dryer used nut drive to take the back off unhook the hose from dryer . disconnect the wires. remove the 2 screws from thermal cut -off . install the new parts

Tested the two thermostats, thermal fuse and the hi limit cut off for conductivity. The hi limit tested open. The others tested closed. Replaced the hi limit.

CAUTION: The rear panel is spot welded on although it has eight or nine hex head screws also, and when you remove them, the holes don't line up for replacing them. Took a lot of head scratching and time to get things lined up so the screws would go back in again. Don't try to remove the rear panel like the video shows.

Dryer ran but without heat.
Turned off my circuit breaker first. Removed back panel with a 1/4 nut driver. Replaced the dryer fuse first. Very easy but did not fix the problem.

Dryer rotates but there is no hot air.
Our dryer produced no heat. I thought that it was the electrical heating element because this part had failed a number of years ago. But when we received the heating element, and I opened up the back of the dryer to install it, I found that the element was OK. (Visual inspection as well as using an ohm meter.) I then ordered the thermal c

Once the kit arrived it was very simple to remove the Allen-head screws on both parts, install the two new parts, reconnect the wires, replace the back panel on the dryer and hook up power and the dryer vent hose. The dryer works just fine.

Dryer is turning off prematurely. I input my model number into the website to see what might be the problem and it looked like it could be the cycling thermostat (thermostat internal bias part # wp3387134) . However, i do not see that part in my dryer. Instead, i see the high limit thermostat and fuse cut-off. Is there a cycling thermostat and a high limit thermostat in this unit, and if so, where exactly is the cycling thermostat located?
For model number 110.67902791
Hi David,
Thank you for the question. The cycling thermostat is attached to the blower housing. Hope this helps!

Mr Whirlpool electric dryer clothes coming out are extremely hot where they are burning me when i take them out of the dryer. I am confused on which part i may need. One part includes the thermal cut off kit that includes both of these 2 parts a 250 degree high limit thermostat and a thermal cut off fuse limit 360 degrees. The other part i am thinking i may need is the cycling thermostat limit 135/155. If you can lead me in the right direction, i would appreciate it.
For model number LE5600XSW0
Hi David,
Thank you for your question. I would actually suggest testing all of your thermostats with a multimeter to see if they are all working correctly. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

No dryer heat
For model number 96588210
Hello Tim, thank you for your question. I would recommend testing the thermostats in the appliance first. Alot of times, the Thermostat, Internal-Bias Part Number: WP3387134 and Disposable Thermal Fuse - Two Terminal Part Number: WP3390719 are the most common thermostats to go. However, I would recommend testing all the thermostats first to be sure there isn't another blown thermostat. I hope this helps!

My dryer does not work on the high heat or cotton setting but works on all of the others. I am not sure what part needs to be replaced, please advise?
For model number 110.67741600
Hello David,
Thanks for your question. You will want to test the thermal fuse, thermal cut-off kit, internal-bias thermostat, heating element, and high limit thermostat with a multimeter to see if they have continuity. Replace any that do not have electrical continuity.
I hope this helps.
I have a Kenmore dryer and the heating element would stay on even after the dryer shut off and now it doesnt heat at all. Could it need a heating element and thermostat? Im not sure if i want to tackle the job or not but i love this dryer. Thank you! Diane
Hello Diane, thank you for contacting us. This could be from a bad heating element, if it has shorted out it could keep creating heat. You can inspect the element to see if it is broken and welded to the housing/ground. Good luck with the repair!

I found the cycling thermostat on the blower housing just where you said it would be. However, even after removing the lint trap and lint trap housing, the cycling thermostat is pretty tightly pinned between the blower housing and the upper drum. Do i have to remove the blower housing just to get to the cycling thermostat? If so, i may have to turn this over to a professional.
For model number 110.67902791
Hi David,
Thank you for your question. You usually do not have to. We do have an installation video for this kit: https://youtu.be/scgftb8_06c . If you need to remove the blower however, you may have to contact a technician to help you. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

My dryer doesn't heat up at all and there is power at the heater element what could be the problem? Thanks
For model number 11065922400
Hi Jose,
Thank you for your question. If the dryer is not heating, the thermal cut-off is one part that you will have to check. There are some other parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the thermal fuse, the internal bias thermostat, the heating element, the heating element connection wire, the high limit thermostat, the electrode sensor and the door switch. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
