E 1 error code

Ordered thermister after watching YouTube video. Part arrived in just 2 days. Repair went just as depicted on video. Easy fix. Hoping it corrects the problem.

No heat

Had a power failure when dryer was being used. Dryer was still running but not heating. Used a multimeter to discover that there was no continuity in this part. Ordered the part and received it within 48hrs. Took less than 2 min to replace the part. Praise the Lord, it now works like a charm!

My Cabrio dryer was not getting hot to dry clothes

Per Assistance from AppliancePartsPros I was able to get the Thermister part now my Dryer works great!

No heat with clothes dryer

I watched a couple of YouTube videos on what to do when your dryer won't heat, I then went online to AppliancePartsPros.com, Ordered the parts, installed them, it worked and now I am a hero in my Wife's eyes. Feels great. The service and support I received from AppliancePartsPros.com was absolutely outstanding! Best online experience ever. I can't wait for another appliance to fail and I get to be a hero again (not really). Thanks.

Cycle finished before drying or dryer got too hot!

Replaced the thermistor. Actual time taken was more related to getting bolts back in than anything else. Actual repair was easy with right tools and the how-to videos are outstanding. I am not the handiest person but, with the help of Appliancepartspros.com, I have now fixed both my washer and dryer myself at a much lower cost than calling back the authorized repair guy (who couldn’t fix it for me last time!). I paid less for parts than the cost of a service call. Love this site.

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.

Clothes dryer wasn t heating

Preface: I have never done anything like this before. My ten year old Whirlpool dryer (electric) ran perfectly except that it suddenly stopped heating. I went on youtube and your website, watched a few videos and thought to myself "I can probably do this." I ordered a thermal fuse via your instant chat feature which proved to be a mistake. As soon as it arrived I knew it didn't look like the part I needed so I called AppliancePartsPros.com and learned that the part I needed was actually called a thermal cut-off. It arrived in a couple of days and was installed in about ten minutes. I am happy to report that with your help the dryer in running like new. Thank you.

Dryer quit drying

As on previous occasions, got online with Appliance Parts Pro and easily & quickly learned how to determine the problem, find the parts needed, how to remove the failed part and how to install its replacement. Hard to believe how convenient and efficient this company is.

No heat

I bought those parts tuesday they were here thursday morning had my dryer working great by noon thursday.

Whirlpool dryer wouldn't heat

I found your website with complete detailed instructions for troubleshooting the dryer. After I identified the problem, I was able to watch the video showing the repair and then order the part. Easy as pie, and I knew nothing about dryers. Your website saved me a bundle on technician labor fees.

Dryer was working but there was no heat

I was new to these repairs and not very skilled with the multi-meter. The thermal cut off switch was bad.

No heat

Simple diagnosis, checked for open heating coil, was ok, then checked and found open thermostat. Easy to replace.

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.

My dryer was blowing cool air and not hot to dry my clothes

I went online and saw a video from AppliancePartsPros.com. The gentlemen showed me exactly what I needed to fix my dryer and exactly how to repair it. His directions were so easy to follow. I ordered the parts from AppliancePartsPros website and installed them and my dryer is working better than before. I only spent $91.00 to repair instead of purchasing a new dryer for $699.00. Thank you so much for saving me over $600.00.

Dryer not heating up.

After finding out vent was plugged. Cleaned vent & still no heat, I replaced the hi-limit thermostat because the heating element would come on for a few seconds & shut off not geting up to temp to dry. Seems okay now.

Dryer overheating

Learned it was the Hi-limit thermostat and order one. Absolutely no sweat taking the old one out and putting the new one in. Watch their videos. Nothing to it.

The dryer would not heat.

After watching a video on Youtube, I used a multimeter to test continuity in each of the thermostats. The hi-limit thermostat failed. I ordered the part late one evening with overnight shipping. The part shipped the next day and arrived on time. It took just a few minutes to install the part and start drying clothes again. AppliancePartsPros.com is an EXCELLENT source for parts!

Dyer works but not heating.

Troubleshooting resulted in one of the thermostat ( the high limit) being open. Priced the item at local sources, and the prices were all at least double that of Applianceparts.com Ordered the part, it arrived a couple of day before the scheduled date. Tested the part before installation. Now the machine works as it should. Thanks for being available to assist and especially with lower prices.

Dryer Belt

Broken dryer belt

Replacement belt was very reasonably priced and was shipped super fast! Ordered Sunday and arrived Tuesday afternoon. Repair was very easy. Only required removing two screw on the front dryer plate which then popped right off (Maytag Performa). Dryer drum can be lifted easily to put belt around. Came with a diagram of how to use the tensioner which was helpful. Couldn't actually see what I was doing so had to do it by feel. Was a tight squeeze to get my arm back to the pulley and tensioner but was overall a very simple fix. Dryer works great now.

Dryer drum not turning

Went to your site and viewed it and searched the parts and found he belt. This is my 2nd time using your site and very pleased 100%.

Belt had broken drum was not spinning

Bought a belt and watched the great video on the site that walks you through replacing the belt; worked perfectly, and the dryer is now fixed saving me hundreds!

No heat for the dryer

Just change the thermal fuse, That caused the problem but also changed the other parts to prevent future problems

Dryer drum stopped turning

I ordered a belt from you - which under regular shipping was received in less than 24 hours. With your video & instructions included, the repair was quickly completed. I'm slow - I thought your time estimate was realistic. The additional time was spent cleaning lint. 2 comments on your video: Your video did not say anything about supporting the drum. I did - which seemed to eliminate the need to be concerned about the back drum gasket slipping under a lip.
