Description
Ensure the safe and efficient operation of your dishwasher's heating system with the genuine OEM "Electrolux 154290204 Resettable Thermostat". This critical high-limit thermostat acts as a safety device, preventing the dishwasher from overheating by automatically cutting power to the heating element if the temperature exceeds a safe limit (typically around 200°F). Failure of this thermostat is a common reason for the dishwasher not heating water or the cycle stopping prematurely.

If the new thermostat fails quickly, check the heating element for short circuits or the control board for consistent voltage issues.
