FAQs

This high-limit thermostat is compatible with a wide range of dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Roper, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, KitchenAid, and Magic Chef.
This part directly replaces OEM numbers WP3977767, 3977767, 3399693, and WP3977767VP. It also cross-references with AP6009043, 898078, ER3977767, SET185, TJ90SET185, and PS11742185.
You likely need a replacement if your dryer is not heating, is overheating, or will not start at all. Because this is a high-limit safety thermostat, it is designed to cut the heat source if the internal temperature exceeds safe levels; if it fails in the 'open' position, the dryer will stop heating entirely.
Installation is generally straightforward and can usually be completed in 30 to 60 minutes. You will typically need a screwdriver (Phillips or flathead depending on your dryer's cabinet screws) and a putty knife to release the clips on the front or top panel. Always ensure the dryer is unplugged and the gas supply is turned off (if applicable) before beginning.
The most common root cause for a high-limit thermostat failure is restricted airflow. If your dryer vent hose is clogged with lint or if the exterior vent hood is obstructed, the dryer cannot exhaust hot air properly, causing the internal temperature to spike and trip the thermostat. Before installing the new part, we strongly recommend cleaning your entire vent system to prevent the new thermostat from failing prematurely.
While this pack provides extras for future use, it is a good practice to inspect your thermal fuse and cycling thermostat while you have the dryer cabinet open. If the high-limit thermostat has failed due to overheating, checking the condition of your heating element and lint screen housing for blockages is also highly recommended.
