The Dryer Thermal Fuse, model L310, is designed to function up to a temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Should your dryer fail to start or heat adequately, it may be beneficial to replace this component. It is compatible with brands such as Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. The Dryer Safety Thermostat, a direct replacement for parts WE04X0800 and WE4X730, is identified by part number WE4X800.
This safety thermostat, WE4X800, deactivates the heating element in the event of dryer overheating.
Prior to installation, ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power source and use work gloves to protect your hands.
