Function & Importance

The cycling thermostat regulates the dryer’s internal temperature by switching the heating element on and off throughout the cycle. This prevents overheating, protects fabrics from damage, and ensures energy-efficient operation. Without a properly functioning thermostat, the dryer may run too hot, too cold, or fail to dry clothes completely.

Common Signs This Part Needs Replacement

• Clothes taking too long to dry or coming out damp

• Dryer overheating or shutting down mid-cycle

If you notice any of these symptoms, replacing the thermostat can quickly restore your dryer’s performance.
