FAQs

This high-limit thermostat is compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, and Maytag dishwashers. It directly replaces part numbers WP661566, 661566, 3371618, W10339474, AP6010246, PS11743423, 3369777, 3370783, 4171694, and WP661566VP.
If your dishwasher is failing to heat the water, not drying dishes properly, or if the cycle stops prematurely, the high-limit thermostat may have tripped or failed. It is designed to cut power to the heating element if the water temperature becomes dangerously high; if it fails in the open position, the heater will not engage.
Installation is generally straightforward and typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. You will need a screwdriver to remove the lower access panel of the dishwasher. Always ensure the power is disconnected at the breaker before beginning the repair.
Before installing a new thermostat, verify that the heating element itself is not burnt out or damaged. It is also good practice to inspect the wiring connections leading to the thermostat for any signs of heat damage, corrosion, or loose terminals, as these can mimic a faulty thermostat.
These thermostats are safety devices that can fail due to age, repeated thermal cycling, or a genuine overheating event caused by a malfunctioning control board or a stuck relay. If the thermostat has tripped, it is worth ensuring your dishwasher is not consistently running at excessively high temperatures.
