Samsung Tumble Dryer Temperature Sensor

Samsung Tumble Dryer Temperature Sensor

Important: Use the "Check this part fits your appliance" box above to make sure this product fits your appliance.

The thermostats in your tumble dryer control the temperature inside the dryer ensuring that the air stays at the preset temperature for each program.

Often when thermostats fail they will do so due to a lack of cool air or a sudden exposure to a temperature that they were not designed to endure.

Normal thermostats will simply open or close the contacts when the preset temperature is reached in the dryer. These are most commonly used to switch the live supply to the dryer heating element cutting the element in and out to maintain the set temperature.

One-shot safety thermostats are just what they say, they will trip once and not reset so, therefore, must be replaced to have normal operation of the dryer restored.

These thermostats should not, under any circumstances, be by-passed or the dryer used without these being "good" as it can be extremely dangerous and pose a serious fire risk to do so.

Resettable safety thermostats will have a small button on them to press, this resets the thermostat if it is not faulty.

This thermostat is a genuine spare part made by the original manufacturer.

Always unplug your appliance before beginning work and replacing any parts.
