Whirlpool Dryer WED5900SB0 Shuts off too soon

The Thermistor is an OEM part for Whirlpool brand dryers. It is a temperature-sensing resistor that monitors air temperature changes during the drying cycle. The thermistor provides feedback to the control board on heating element performance and internal air condition. 

Symptoms of a failed thermistor include:

• Inaccurate temperature readings and selections  
• Improper or incomplete drying
• Safety issues from overheating due to lack of feedback
• Error codes displayed on the control panel

Causes can be related to normal wear and environmental exposure over time. Failure prevents the dryer from achieving optimal drying conditions.

This genuine Whirlpool thermistor replacement restores precise air temperature monitoring. It ensures the control board receives accurate input to effectively regulate heating levels. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This thermal cut-off kit is an authentic OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is designed to prevent the dryer from overheating.

Made of metal. Both components are mounted on the heater housing. They measure approximately 2 inches long and 1.5 inches wide each. If the thermal cut-off fuse has gone out, the dryer will not function but replacing it using the components in this kit is simple.

This Kit Includes:

• High Limit Thermostat (250°F Limit)
• A Cut Off Fuse (309°F Limit)
• Female Spade Terminals
• Jumper Wires

It is important to note that a plugged lint screen, something stuck in the exhaust vent, or a broken blower wheel can cause the thermal cut-off to fail or become damaged. 

The Dryer Drive Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This motor is the heart of the dryer, responsible for turning the drum and enabling the air to circulate properly throughout the machine.  

Over time, dryer motors can suffer from wear and tear due to continuous use, accumulation of lint and debris, or overload from heavy laundry loads. These factors can lead to the motor overheating, losing power, or failing to start altogether.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Drive Motor include:

• The dryer not starting when the start button is pressed
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing
• The dryer stopping unexpectedly during cycles
• A burning smell coming from the dryer

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Dryer Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is responsible for detecting whether the dryer door is open or closed, allowing the dryer to start or stop depending on the position of the door. A bad dryer door switch can be caused by regular wear and tear or door being slammed. It can also become damaged if there is a buildup of lint or debris around the switch.

Symptoms of a bad dryer door switch include:

• The dryer not starting or running when the door is closed.
• The dryer continuing to run even when the door is open.
• The dryer drum not turning or spinning.
• The interior light not turning on when the door is open.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This Moisture Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. Positioned inside the dryer drum, the sensor detects the moisture level of clothes during the drying cycle. By assessing the dampness of the load, it adjusts the drying time to prevent over-drying, which can be harmful to fabrics, or under-drying, which leaves clothes damp.

Common reasons for the degradation or malfunction of the Moisture Sensor include prolonged use, where the sensor's ability to accurately detect moisture can diminish. Lint and fabric softener residue accumulation on the sensor bars might also interfere with its performance.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Moisture Sensor are:

Clothes remain damp after a complete drying cycle.

• The dryer consistently over-dries, resulting in hot or shrunken clothes.
• Drying cycles end prematurely.
• The sensor error light, if present, might illuminate.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
