Whirlpool High Limit Thermostat WPW10116735 OEM Part

Whirlpool Corporation encompasses a diverse range of brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, also providing products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Among its offerings is the high-limit thermostat, an OEM replacement specifically designed to regulate Whirlpool dryer temperatures, preventing overheating. This L225-40F thermostat is integral for maintaining safety and is typically installed on the heating element housing or the air duct, where it monitors temperature levels.

Common problems addressed by this replacement part include:

- A dryer failing to heat or taking extended periods to dry clothes
- Overheating of the dryer during operation
- Premature shutdown of the dryer before laundry is completely dry
