FAQ

This kit is compatible with a wide range of dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, and Admiral. Because these components are used across many different configurations, always verify your specific dryer model number against the part numbers listed to ensure a proper fit.
This kit replaces a variety of OEM part numbers, including 279816, 3977767, 3392519, 3387134, 3399693, WP3977767VP, PS345113, AP6008325, WP3977393, 3399848, and 306910.
The most common signs that these components have failed include the dryer failing to start, the dryer running but not heating, or the dryer shutting off prematurely. If your dryer has stopped heating entirely, it is often due to a blown thermal fuse or a tripped thermal cut-off switch.
The most frequent cause of failure for these components is restricted airflow, typically caused by a clogged dryer vent, a dirty lint screen, or a blocked exhaust duct. When air cannot escape, the dryer overheats, causing the thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat to trip as a safety measure to prevent a fire.
Before installing the new components, it is critical to clean your dryer's vent system and exhaust ducting. If the airflow remains restricted, the new thermal fuse or thermostat will likely blow again shortly after installation. Additionally, ensure the dryer is unplugged from the power source before beginning any repairs.
This is a standard repair that most homeowners can complete in 30 to 60 minutes. You will generally need a 1/4-inch nut driver, a flat-head screwdriver, and a Phillips-head screwdriver to access the internal components. Depending on your specific dryer model, you may need to remove the back or front panel to reach the thermostat and fuse assembly.
