Located on the side of the heating element housing, this kit protects the dryer from overheating — the high limit thermostat monitors the temperature and interrupts power to the heating element if it exceeds safe operating limits, while the thermal fuse is a one-time safety device that permanently opens if the dryer reaches a dangerously high temperature, cutting power to prevent fire or damage. If your dryer produces no heat or insufficient heat, one or both of these components may have failed and this kit is the recommended OEM replacement. This is an authentic factory original part — never installed, never used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a New Old Stock (NOS) part. The kit itself is in new, uninstalled condition. As is common with NOS inventory, the original packaging may show signs of age, including shelf wear, dust, or minor cosmetic blemishes on the bag or box. The part is new and fully functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e⚠ Important: Unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this part. Note the position of colored wires before disconnecting. If the thermal fuse has blown, check and clear the exhaust vent for restrictions before replacing — a blocked vent is the most common cause of thermal fuse failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number \/ Supersede Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePrimary OEM Part Number: \u003cstrong\u003e279973\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAlso cross-references: \u003cstrong\u003e279973VP\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e3391913\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e3404151\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e3404152\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e3977395\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e8318314\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e897710\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAP3094323\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAH334387\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eEA334387\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePS334387\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eThis part number may have been superseded by an updated Whirlpool part number.
