High Limit Thermostat
The high limit thermostat is located on the side of
the electric heater on electric model dryers. On
gas dryers, it is located on top of the combustion
chamber. On electric dryers, it opens at 290°F.
On gas dryers, it opens at 302°F.
High Limit Thermostat Diagnosing
Continuity can be checked at the thermostat or
from the main board. From the main board on
the electric dryer, check from the J101 connector
to the line one side of the power cord or terminal
block. If there's no continuity found, the high limit
thermostat may be open.
On gas dryers, check from the common terminal
of either the K504 or the K501 relays, or the J101
connector on the main board to the line one side
of the terminal block. If no continuity found, either
the high limit or the safety thermostat may be
open.
