Thermal Cutoff Kit and Inlet Thermistor

Dryer Repair
1

I ordered the thermal cutoff kit (Part# AP3094323) and inlet thermistor (Part# AP3868411) for a Whirlpool Dryer (WED9200SQ0). The high limit thermostat does not have the cut out for the inlet thermistor to clip onto.

See attached picture of orginal and new high limit thermostats along with inlet thermistor.

Are these the correct parts?
If so is there a way to install the inlet thermistor?

Thank You,

This part is incorrect. The correct AP3874047

Someone from the Appliance Parts Pros customer service will contact you Monday morning to provide the instructions for the parts exchange.

Gene - Thank you for your help.
Was the proper inlet thermistor (Part# AP3868411) ordered??

The inlet thermistor comes as a part of the high limit thermostat. The part number I posted is for the cut-off kit which includes the high limit thermostat and the thermal fuse.

You should wait until Monday to reorder it and get the credit for the wrong part.

I do not work for Appliance Parts Pros but I send them e-mail and someone will contact you.

Gene - Thanks for all the help, part# AP3874047 did not come with the thermal fuse. Can I use the one from the original cutoff kit (Part# AP3094323) I ordered.
I also keep getting the F:25 (Inlet Thermistor Shorted) error code even after replacing the parts and checking that the wires going to the inlet thermistor are not shorted to each other or grounded.
Is there a way to reset the error codes and see if the code comes back?
If it does I assume the only thing to do is replace the machine control electronics.

Thank You

Gene - The other parts came today. But do you have any suggestions for the F:25 code reset??

Thanks,

Activate the Service Diagnostic Test mode as instructed in the Tech sheet (page 1). Press and release the same button used to activate Diagnostics four times. All indicators should momentarily turn off, then stay on.

If it would not reset the error code stored in memory, you should do the resistance test for the thermistor as instructed in the Tech sheet (page 7). Possible the problem is a bad control board.
