Description
Ensure safe and accurate temperature regulation in your dryer with the Whirlpool WP3387134 Cycling Thermostat. This genuine OEM operating thermostat, rated "L155-25F"is responsible for continuously turning the heating element on and off to maintain the desired temperature inside the dryer drum. It is a critical safety and efficiency component used across many electric and gas dryer models from Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and other affiliated brands.
Features & Benefits:
- Temperature Regulation: Controls the cycling of the heating element to maintain the set drying temperature.
- L155-25F Rating: Indicates the thermostat opens at 155°F and closes when the temperature drops 25°F (at 130°F).
- Safety Function: Prevents the dryer from running excessively hot, which can damage clothes and the appliance.
- Wide Compatibility: Fits numerous dryers from the Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Kenmore brand family.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:
- Dryer is running, but the air is getting excessively hot (not cycling heat off).
- Dryer is taking too long to dry clothes (inconsistent or weak heating).

Compatibility Note:
While this is the cycling thermostat, it is recommended to also inspect the thermal fuse and thermal cut-off fuses, as they are often the primary point of failure before the cycling thermostat. Disconnect the appliance from power before beginning the repair.
