8583792913003 Genuine Manual Reset Safety Thermostat 16A for Electrolux Group Laundry Appliances

8583792913003 is a genuine Electrolux manual reset thermostat with a 16A contact rating. A thermostat like this is a safety cut-out. It opens a heating circuit when the temperature climbs too high and stays open until someone presses its reset button. The part sits in the Electrolux number series used for laundry components, but we don't have a confirmed appliance or model list, so check the number and temperature marked on your old thermostat before buying.

What a tripped or failed manual reset thermostat looks like

In normal running this thermostat stays closed and passes current to the heater. If something goes wrong, such as a blocked airflow path, a stuck relay or a heater that won't switch off, the thermostat heats past its set point and snaps open, cutting the heater out. Because it's manual reset, the appliance won't heat again until the button is pressed. Repeated tripping means there's an underlying fault to find. A thermostat that won't reset, or reads open circuit when cool, has failed and needs replacing.

Before you replace the thermostat

Unplug the appliance, or isolate it at the switchboard if it's hard-wired, in which case the work needs a licensed electrician. Find out why the old thermostat tripped before fitting a new one, as a blocked vent or a stuck heater relay will trip the new part too. Copy down the cut-out temperature printed on the old body, photograph the terminals, and fit the replacement firmly against its mounting surface so it senses heat properly.

Questions about this part

Can I just reset the old thermostat instead?

If it resets and tests closed, it may still work, but it tripped for a reason. Track down the cause first. If it won't reset, or keeps tripping once the fault is fixed, replace it with 8583792913003 after checking the numbers match.
