Whirlpool Dryer High Limit Thermostat - Genuine OEM WP3390291
WP3390291 Whirlpool Dryer High Limit Thermostat – Fix Your Dryer That Won't Heat, Overheats, Shuts Off Mid-Cycle, or Has No Heat
WP3390291 Dryer High Limit Thermostat – The essential fix for a Whirlpool dryer that won't heat, overheats and shuts off, has intermittent heat, stops mid-cycle, or runs but produces no heat.
✓ What It Does
The high limit thermostat is a safety device mounted on the heater housing that monitors dryer temperature. If the temperature exceeds a safe limit (around 250°F), it cuts power to the heating element to prevent overheating and fire. When it fails — either stuck open (no heat) or stuck closed (overheating) — your dryer won't function properly.
✓ Common Symptoms This Part Fixes
- No Heat: Dryer runs but won't heat at all (thermostat stuck open)
- Overheating & Shutoff: Dryer gets too hot and shuts off mid-cycle
- Intermittent Heat: Dryer heats for a while then stops (often due to clogged vent)
- Mid-Cycle Shutdown: Dryer stops before clothes are dry
- Cycling Too Frequently: Heat turns on and off repeatedly
✓ How It Works
A thermostat stuck in the open position causes a no-heat condition because it permanently interrupts power to the element. A thermostat that's cycling too frequently (due to a clogged vent) causes the dryer to heat intermittently or shut off mid-cycle. If your dryer runs but won't heat, or heats for a while then stops, the high limit thermostat is a common cause — especially if the vent system is restricted.
