Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
Thermal Cut-Off with High Limit Thermostat Specifications
The thermal cut-off (fuse) is meant to trip at a higher temperature than that of a high limit thermostat. This is a one time use fuse, so when it does trip, you must replace it. The hi-limit thermostat acts as a safety mechanism that keeps the dryer from overheating. Once the dryer temperature reaches a certain point, this piece will shut down power to the heating element.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money

Dryer wouldn't Heat up. Otherwise all else worked
Thought I could do it myself. Bought most parts recommended by this site Took backoff thinking I could get to heating element. Noticed I would have to take out drum. Being in my 90's, decided to call repairman. He came and replaced the heating element I had purchased. He didn't have to come back after he had purchased parts.
... Read moreThat saved about half my bill. Worked Great!
Replaced high limit thermostat and thermal cutoff. Dryer works like a champ. Reviewed couple of YouTube videos that showed clearly how to get to the effected parts, test them and replace them. I had an old front loading dryer once before that I repaired a couple of times but these parts were accessible by removing a panel on the
... Read morerear of the unit. The procedure was more involved with this unit. After studying the videos and getting a feel for what was involved, the process, while involved, was fairly simple and putting the unit back together was also fairly easy. Replacement parts did the trick. Very happy.
Went to Kenmore website, got parts diagram, watched You Tube videos on dryer repair for this model, ordered parts. When parts arrived (in 4 days, great job!), re-watched You Tube videos, installed parts, dryer works great. Took longer than industry standards because I had to suction out/vacuum a great deal of lint/hair. as I went along.
The first thing I did was to watch the video from Part select on How to change thermostat cut off switch and the high limit thermostat fuse.I did not have a meter reader I just brought the thermostat cut off kit for about $ 32.00 dollars from part select and replace both part's and my dryer still was not getting hot so back to part select
... Read more video's I looked up the video on replacing the heater element and I ordered one for about $ 97.00 with shipping I replaced it and put it back together and it worked it took just a few hours . I would like to give Avery special thank to part select for the video help and for having the parts for a great price again thank you so much.

I have replaced the thermal fuse & thermistor that are located next to the blower & also the exhaust & checked inside the dryer for lint build up. Our dryer will run now but it gets extremely hot & the clothes will be too hot to touch at the end of the cycle. With the bottom panel off, the element turns red & then will be black (back & forth) so i assume it is working. Not sure if you think i need a thermal cutoff (280148) or thermostat (8557403). Any advice would be appreciated. Trying to get this fixed myself... thanks!!!
For model number WED9200SQ0
Hi DeAnna,
Thank you for the great question,checking the symptoms and with the parts you already replaced they suggest trying the Thermal Cut-Off with High Limit Thermostat part number PS991443. The thermal cut-off (fuse) is meant to trip at a higher temperature than that of a high limit thermostat. This is a one time use fuse, so when it does trip, you must replace it.
Hope this helps!

Hi, my dryer is producing no heat. Lint trap is clean. Dryer thermal fuse ps11741460 has .7 ohms resistance. Internal bias thermostat ps11746740 is 11.78 kilo ohms. Thermostat ps11746386 is 11 ohms, and thermal cut-off with high limit thermostat is 7.9 ohms and 0 ohms. Any recommendations? All done at room temp.
For model number YWED9400SW0
Hello Same, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the element, PartSelect Number PS11746337. The ideal reading for a tumble dryer element is between 20 and 50 ohms - so any reading significantly outside of this range means the element is faulty and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps!
Where does this part attach to my appliance. I have been told it is on top, after i remove the main metal plate cover. I am hoping that is it, because if not I'm going to have to buy the entire board, because i have replaced everything, but this part so far in regards to temp.
For model number WED9600TA1
Hi Candie, Thank you for the question. These parts attach to the heating element housing. Hope this helps!

My dryer don’t start when I push the button of start only makes a noise but don’t spin. Thanks.
For model number WED5610XW0
Hello Armando, Thank you for the question. If the appliance motor is running but the drum is not spinning, we suggest checking the Drum Belt. The Belt wraps around the dryer drum to allow tension and movement. We hope this helps!
My gas dryer won't turn 9n, says door open, and has code E66. Do I replace the Thermo Limiter, or the Thermostat fuse?
For model number LAQG7000LW0
Hello Bob, Thank you for your inquiry. This code usually indicates that the thermal limiter has tripped and needs to be replaced. You can test the thermal fuses with a multimeter to see which one is causing the issue, and also check for any obstructions to the vent that could be causing the dryer to overheat. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. With your multi-meter set to Rx1, touch the probes to each terminal, you are testing for continuity and should have a reading of zero or infinity. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
Dryer won't start due to a shoe that got stuck in the drum while it was working. So i assumed it was because it got stuck so the dryer stopped automatically and it tripped that fuse if am correct. Would you able to tell me where i can find that fuse and how to get to it.Thank you
For model number WED7300XW0
Hello Joel,
Thank you for your question. The fuse for your model is under part PS11741444 for your model and it is located near the exhaust duct of the dryer. We hope this helps.

The Thermal Fuse # PS11741444
