H0184000025P Genuine Dryer Thermostat and Overheat Kit for Fisher & Paykel, Haier Dryers DE4060M1 DE5060G1 DE5060M1 DE6060G1 DE6060P1

This genuine kit, H0184000025P, pairs the dryer's thermostat with its overheat thermostat for a range of Fisher & Paykel and Haier dryers. Supplying them together means you replace both at once rather than chasing one fault after another. It's listed for the F&P DE4060M1 and DE5060M1, as well as the G and P versions of the DE5060 and DE6060, so check your model plate before ordering.

Dryer not heating or getting too hot

The thermostat cycles the element on and off to keep the air in the drum within its working range. The overheat thermostat is a backup that cuts the heat if temperatures climb too far, usually because air flow is blocked. When either one fails open, the dryer tumbles but blows cold air. A thermostat that sticks closed can let the dryer run too hot, scorching clothes or tripping the overheat. Repeated tripping is often a sign of a lint-choked filter, vent or housing, so clean those out while you're replacing the kit.

Fitting the thermostat kit

Unplug the dryer first. Locate both thermostats, photograph their positions and wiring, then replace them one at a time so the wires can't get mixed up. Make sure each new thermostat sits flat against its mounting so it reads temperature properly. Clean out lint while the dryer is open and run a heated cycle to check it cycles normally.

Questions about this part

Why replace both thermostats?

An overheat thermostat usually trips because the dryer has been running hot, which can mean the operating thermostat is also worn. Changing both together, and clearing the cause of the overheating, gives the best chance of a lasting repair.
