Repair Skill Level: 2 | Beginner to Moderate
Minimal disassembly (if any) and some basic tools may be needed.
Part Description: The thermal cut-off kit prevents the dryer from overheating if the high limit thermostat fails.
Failure Symptoms: Dryer will not heat at all, or takes an increasing amount of time to dry your clothes.
Testing: Use a multimeter to test it for continuity in the fuse and thermostat. If there is no continuity in either piece, it should be replaced.
Bonus Tip: A blown thermal fuse indicates a restriction in the exhaust vent that runs from the dryer to the outside. Be sure to check the dryer venting whenever you need to replace the thermal fuse. Also check for build up on your lint filter screen. Residue from dryer sheets and fabric softener can build up on lint screens and restrict air flow.

Awesome!
Thanks to this business, NO need to run out & get new dryer. Ours is nearly 20 years old & have had to replace thermostat twice - but that is so much cheaper and satisfying than having to replace it!

My dryer has never worked this good before and I bought it new. Only thing with it is the two replacement screws dont fit the holes in the new heating element. No problem just find two that do.
