W10843940 - Whirlpool Dryer Thermostat

This Whirlpool Dryer Thermostat (W10843940) is a genuine part for Whirlpool and Inglis dryers. It plays a critical role in managing the dryer's internal temperature by precisely cycling the heating elements to maintain optimal air temperature. The thermostat operates through bimetallic strips that actuate switches controlling power flow to the heating elements, while thermal fuses provide necessary overheat cutoffs. If your appliance begins to exhibit signs of inaccurate temperature regulation, such as the dryer not heating sufficiently or overheating, it could suggest that troubleshooting or replacement of the thermostat is needed. Before purchasing, always double-check to confirm that the W10843940 Thermostat is compatible with your dryer's model number.
