Function & Importance

The high limit thermostat acts as a safety cutoff switch for your dryer’s heating element. It monitors the internal temperature and shuts off the heat if it rises above safe operating levels. Without a functioning thermostat, your dryer may overheat, risking damage to the appliance and even fire hazards.

Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Needed

• Dryer overheating or shutting off unexpectedly

• Dryer not producing heat at all

• Blown thermal fuse due to excessive heat
