This safety component monitors exhaust or drum temperatures and opens the circuit when temperatures exceed the rated threshold, cutting power to the heating element or burner to prevent damage and fire hazard. It is a direct-replacement part manufactured by Whirlpool to original factory specifications. Licensed appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part during routine dryer service or after a no-heat diagnosis traced to a failed thermal cutoff or limit thermostat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis high limit thermostat is used in residential laundry dryer applications.
