It sits in the hot air path and opens the heating circuit if the dryer gets hotter than it should. No model list is on file, so compare 460530 with the number on your old thermostat, or send the dryer's model number from its rating label, before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFisher \u0026amp; Paykel dryer not heating? Check the overheat thermostat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overheat thermostat is a protective switch, not a temperature control. It stays closed in normal use and only opens when the air around it gets too hot, usually because airflow has been choked by a full lint filter or a blocked or crushed exhaust duct. Once it has failed open, or tripped and not reset, the drum turns but the clothes stay damp and cold. If the dryer heats for a while and then stops heating, the thermostat may be doing its job, so clean the filter and ducting before you blame the part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel part 460530\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverheat (safety) thermostat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel clothes dryers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the number on your old thermostat before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTesting and fitting the thermostat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the dryer before removing any panel. At room temperature a good overheat thermostat shows continuity across its terminals, while an open reading means it has failed. Photograph the wiring, fit the new thermostat in the same spot with good contact against its mounting, and clean out lint from inside the cabinet while it's open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy new thermostat keeps tripping. Why?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA thermostat that trips again is usually reacting to real overheating. Clean the lint filter and its housing, check the exhaust path for blockages, and make sure the dryer has room to breathe. If airflow is clear and it still trips, have the heater and fan checked.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fisher \u0026 Paykel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551015366734,"sku":"460530","price":34.03,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/460530-genuine-fisher-and-paykel-dryer-overheat-thermostat.jpg?v=1792026153","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/460530-genuine-fisher-and-paykel-dryer-overheat-thermostat","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
