Recently changed the high limit,regular thermostat,thermal fuse, and the heating element. Worked for a while. Now the adjustable cycling thermostat needs to be changed. Would that have messed up the other parts that I have already replaced if it got to hot? Its an older style whirlpool dryer. Everything is in the back panel.

Hi, The cycling thermostat ( AP3115922 ) should not effect the other components mentioned.

occasionalrepairsA model number may help others help you!! Model Number LocatorAlso I do not know what "regular thermostat" relates to. Sorry but I have to disagree with Jagsmaned. A cycling thermostat that is shot can cause the unit to overheat. The hi-limit then regulates the heat although it is overly hot. The hi-limit is a safety device and is not designed to cycle forever so eventually it fails. Then the thermal cut-off which is basically a thermal fuse blows as it is a back up to the hi-limit. |
