Thermal fuse. If the dryer overheats, this device stops the flow of electricity to the heat source and/or the entire dryer. It is located on the blower housing and cannot be reset. The most common cause for overheating is a vent tube clogged with lint, a birds nest or other debris.

Manufacturer Number 3392519

Watch our “Part Testing” video to determine if the thermal fuse has blown out and needs to be replaced.

Dryer belt. This is the most common belt used on Whirlpool, Kenmore, Kitchenaid, Roper, Estate and other dryer brands. The belt is flat, 92-1/4 inches long, 1/4 inch wide and has 4 ribs and 3 grooves. It replaces many other belts, including some with 5 ribs and 4 grooves.

Manufacturer Number 341241

See our dryer belt diagram to see how this belt should be installed around the motor and idler pulleys.

Gas burner valve solenoids. Kit contains both the two wire and three wire solenoids. One solenoid is the primary and one is the safety. Both have to operate for the gas valve to open. Usually, one of them burns out but you should always replace them as a set.

Manufacturer Number 279834

These often fail intermittently, making diagnosis difficult. To test, watch the burner assembly while the dryer is heating. If the igniter glows for a while and then shuts off without the gas turning on, it usually means one of these coils is bad.

Dryer heating element. If your dryer does not heat, enter your model number into our Repair Help Section as this part is not the most common cause.

Manufacturer Number 279838

Normally, if you remove the old element a defective part will have a physical break in it. It can also be tested using a multimeter.See our Repair Help section for additional information
