WP307250 - Whirlpool Dryer Thermostat

This WP307250 Whirlpool Dryer Thermostat (WP307250) is a genuine part designed for Whirlpool dryers, also compatible with Maytag and International brands. It functions as a vital component in your dryer, regulating the heating element's input based on the measured air temperature to ensure your clothing is dried efficiently. Featuring bimetallic strips that actuate switches to control the power flow, this thermostat works in conjunction with thermal fuses to provide necessary overheat cutoffs. Often known as a "cycling thermostat with internal bias heater" or "L150-25 with 5 terminals," it plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal air temperatures within the dryer by precisely cycling the heating elements. Should you experience issues like unregulated heat leading to either insufficient drying or overheating, or the dryer cycles becoming inaccurate, it may indicate that the thermostat requires troubleshooting or replacement. Make sure to verify your dryer's model number for compatibility before making a purchase.
