Dryer Thermostat
The thermostat functions to control the temperature inside your dryer, particularly valuable when the appliance fails to heat or does not provide sufficient warmth. Whirlpool offers a diverse selection of products, including brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. In addition, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This specific safety thermostat, identified by part number W10843940, is intended for use in dryers.
The W10843940 safety thermostat deactivates the heating element if the dryer overheats.
Prior to installation, disconnect the dryer from power. Protect your hands by wearing work gloves.
