Hi, it’s Steve from Partselect. Today we’re going to show you how to change the cycling
thermostat on you dryer. It’s a pretty easy job, all you need is a quarter inch nut driver
and a pair of needle nose pliers.
The very first thing that we need to do is disconnect the power to the dryer. If it has
a plug merely remove that from the socket. If it’s a hard-wired dryer we need to find
the source and disconnect the power there.
The second thing that we need to do is remove the dryer vent. We need to pull the appliance
out because all of this repair is going to be done from the back.
Now we need to remove all of the screws holding the back panel on. On this model there are
nine quarter inch screws.
With the back panel removed we now have access to our cycling thermostat. The first step
would be to remove the wires and the one quarter inch hex-head screw that holds the thermostat in place. The thermostat
will pivot out of the hole.
Take our new thermostat and press one tab into the opening. Line up the other opening
with the screw. Attach that and reconnect our wires.
The last thing we need to do is put our back panel in place.
That really was an easy repair, wasn’t it? Good luck with your repair and thanks for
watching.
