I replaced it and the high limit as they came in a set (part 47 and 48). The dryer worked great for 3 months and then the same problem occurred again. Bad Thermal Cut Off. What could cause this part to keep going bad? Wbuc

Also I would recommend to check the blower wheel and the air duct inside the dryer. Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dryer Model GEQ8858JQ1 Gene.
