Whirlpool WP307250 Dryer Thermostat

The Whirlpool WP307250 Dryer Thermostat is a safety device that controls the temperature inside your clothes dryer. This crucial component functions as a switch, automatically turning off the heating element when the desired drying temperature is attained. By doing this, you keep your clothing from overheating and maybe shrinking or breaking. The thermostat, located near the clothes washer's exhaust vent, constantly monitors the air temperature inside the drum. When the set temperature is reached, the thermostat opens the circuit, preventing the supply of electricity to the heating element. The thermostat resets when the temperature drops, cutting off the circuit and enabling the heating element to revive if needed. This guarantees that your clothing dries evenly and efficiently, without risk of overheating.
