XPARTCO 6931EL3001F Dryer Hi-Limit Thermostat The XPARTCO 6931EL3001F is an aftermarket replacement dryer rear hi-limit heater thermostat compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The hi-limit thermostat is a safety switch mounted on the heater housing that monitors the temperature at the heating element. If the heater temperature exceeds the safe operating limit, the thermostat opens its contacts to cut power to the heating element, protecting the dryer and its contents from overheating. When cooled, the thermostat resets automatically — but if it fails internally, it may remain open permanently, causing the dryer to produce no heat despite the thermal fuse and other components being intact. Rated L125-31C, 250V, 25A, this 3-terminal thermostat measures 2"L x 1-3/4"W x 1-1/4"H with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes (center to center). It is constructed from metal and plastic in gray/black and mounts directly on the heater housing. It directly replaces 1377779, AP5072172, AH3530482, EA3530482, EAP3530482, PS3530482, and PD00023316. Often replaced together with the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse — both mount on the heater housing and work as a system to protect the dryer from overheating. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 6931EL3001F Dryer Hi-Limit Thermostat fixes LG and Kenmore dryers with no heat where the thermostat has failed open. Rated L125-31C, 250V/25A, 3 terminals. 2"L x 1-3/4"W x 1-1/4"H, ~1-5/8" between mounting holes. Mounts on heater housing. Test with multimeter — should show closed continuity at room temperature. Often replaced together with 6931EL3003D thermal fuse. Replaces 1377779, AP5072172, AH3530482, EA3530482, EAP3530482, PS3530482. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer produces no heat — hi-limit thermostat has failed open and is permanently interrupting the heater circuit Dryer takes much longer than normal to dry a load Dryer tumbles normally but generates no heat during the cycle No heat even after the thermal fuse has already been replaced — thermostat also failed Dryer overheating intermittently — thermostat not opening at the correct temperature Multimeter test shows open circuit (no continuity) across the thermostat at room temperature Replaces Part Numbers This hi-limit thermostat directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: 6931EL3001F, 1377779, AH3530482, ALG51960, EA3530482, EAP3530482, AP5072172, PD00023316, PS3530482 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This hi-limit thermostat is compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. Compatible models include LG DLE, DLG, DLEX, DLGX, and DLB series dryers, and Kenmore 796-series dryers built on the LG platform. LG electric dryers — DLE series (DLE2050W, DLE3777W, DLE5955W and related models) LG electric dryers — DLEX series (select models) LG gas dryers — DLG series (DLG2051W, DLG3788W and related models) LG gas dryers — DLGX series (select models) LG electric and gas dryers — DLB series (select models) Kenmore / Sears dryers — 796-series (LG-built models) Tip: When replacing the 6931EL3001F thermostat, also replace the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse at the same time. Both mount on the heater housing and are commonly replaced together — an overheating event that causes one to fail typically stresses both.

Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to access the heater housing. The 6931EL3001F thermostat is mounted on the heater housing — it is the 3-terminal component with gray/black housing. Before removing it, test it with a multimeter: disconnect the wires and probe the terminals. At room temperature a working thermostat shows closed continuity. An open reading confirms failure. Photograph the 3-wire connections before disconnecting — reconnecting in the correct positions is important. Remove the 2 mounting screws and lift the old thermostat off. Install the new thermostat in the same position with the 2 mounting screws and reconnect the wires in the same positions. While the heater housing is accessible, also test and replace the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse if needed. Reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the 6931EL3001F thermostat and the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse? Both are mounted on the heater housing and protect the dryer from overheating, but they work differently. The 6931EL3001F is a resettable hi-limit thermostat rated L125-31C — it opens when the heater temperature gets too high and resets automatically when cooled. The 6931EL3003D is a one-time thermal fuse that permanently interrupts the circuit if the temperature exceeds its rated limit — once blown, it cannot reset and must be replaced. Both should show closed continuity at room temperature when working. Because both are on the heater housing and experience the same thermal stress, replacing both at the same time is recommended. How do I test the 6931EL3001F thermostat with a multimeter? Unplug the dryer and disconnect all three wires from the thermostat terminals. Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, a working 6931EL3001F thermostat should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) across its contacts. If your multimeter reads open circuit (no continuity / OL), the thermostat has failed and needs replacement. Since this thermostat auto-resets when cooled, always test at room temperature — testing while the dryer is still warm may give a false open reading if the thermostat has legitimately opened due to heat. My LG dryer has no heat but the thermal fuse is good — could it be the thermostat? Yes — when the thermal fuse tests good but there is still no heat, the hi-limit thermostat (6931EL3001F) is the next most common culprit. A thermostat that has failed internally may remain permanently open even at room temperature, cutting power to the heating element exactly as a blown thermal fuse would. Test the thermostat with a multimeter for continuity. Also check the cycling thermostat (6931EL3002M) and the thermistor (6323EL2001B) — all three are part of the LG dryer thermal control system and any one of them can cause a no-heat condition. What does the "L125-31C" rating mean? The L125-31C rating describes the thermostat's operating parameters. L125 means the thermostat opens (trips) when the temperature reaches approximately 125°C (257°F). The 31 indicates the reset differential — the thermostat resets when the temperature drops approximately 31°C below the trip point, around 94°C (201°F). This rating ensures the thermostat allows the heater to operate at normal drying temperatures while protecting against dangerous overheating. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from metal and plastic to match the L125-31C rating, dimensions, and 3-terminal configuration of the original 6931EL3001F hi-limit heater thermostat.

WP3392519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse The WP3392519 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM thermal fuse mounted on the blower housing next to the blower fan. This fuse is a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant internal temperatures climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power to the dryer. That's why a blown thermal fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't start at all, with no lights, no tumble, and no response, even though the outlet has power. This fuse opens at approximately 196°F (91°C) and terminates in two 3/16" wire terminals for a direct plug-in fit. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this thermal fuse cannot be reset once it blows — it must be replaced. A blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat is exactly what the fuse is designed to react to. A shorted heating element or a failed regulating thermostat can also cause the dryer to run hot enough to blow the fuse. It directly replaces 3392519, WP3392519VP, AP6008325, 3388651, 694511, ET401, PS11741460, EAP11741460, AH11741460, EA11741460, PD00002311, G4AP0500, and 80005. Quick Answer The WP3392519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Jenn-Air, and Amana dryers that won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button. Opens at approximately 196°F (91°C). Two 3/16" wire terminals.

Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this fuse — a blown fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and installing a new fuse without fixing the vent will likely blow it again. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button Dryer that stopped working suddenly, especially after running unusually hot Dryer runs a short time then shuts off completely and won't restart Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction Clothes coming out extremely hot right before the dryer stopped working Dryer that recently smelled like burning or overheating before failing Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the blower housing where the fuse is mounted. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the wire terminals from the old fuse. Remove the mounting screw holding the fuse in place and pull it free, disconnecting both wire terminals. Before installing the new fuse, test it for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's good out of the box, and test the old one to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new WP3392519 in the same mounting position, reconnect both wire terminals, and secure the mounting screw. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer has no power at all and the lights won't turn on. Is this the thermal fuse? It's a strong possibility. When this thermal fuse blows, it cuts power broadly enough that the console lights and control panel can go completely dark, not just the heating function — that's a normal result of how this fuse is wired into the circuit. Before replacing it, confirm the outlet has power and the breaker hasn't tripped, then check the fuse for continuity with a multimeter. If it shows no continuity, this fuse is the correct fix, though it's also worth checking the exhaust ducting since that's the most common underlying cause. I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on? This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. If airflow checks out and the fuse still blows, have the heating element and cycling thermostat checked as well, since a component stuck in the "on" position can also drive excess heat. Can I just reset the thermal fuse instead of replacing it? No. Unlike a cycling thermostat, this thermal fuse is a one-time safety device — once it blows, its internal circuit is permanently broken and it cannot be reset or repaired. Replacement is the only option. My clothes came out extremely hot right before the dryer died. Is that related? Yes, this is a classic warning sign. Clothes coming out unusually hot indicates the dryer was already running hotter than normal, which is exactly the condition that leads to a blown thermal fuse. If you noticed this before the dryer stopped working, it strongly points to a ventilation or airflow problem that should be fully addressed before running the dryer again. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original opening temperature, terminal configuration, and mounting position of the thermal fuse originally installed in your dryer.
