LA-1053 Maytag Dryer Thermostat Kit

Posted byNathan

Today’s spotlight on dryer parts features a thermostat kit from Maytag (well, from Whirlpool now) and a generic replacement for it.

Part number LA-1053 is a dryer thermostat kit that includes a high limit thermostat (generic part number for it individually is L250 and the OEM part number is 53-0771) and it also includes a high limit thermostat for gas dryers (53-1096) and a one-time thermal fuse (53-1182). There are some instructions that come with this kit also… see below.

Contents:

The purpose of this kit is to provid the parts necessary to properly replace an open thermal fuse on either an electric or gas model dryer.

The kit not only provides a replacement thermal fuse, but also two high limit thermostats; one for electric model dryers and one for gas models. The same thermal fuse is used on both models.

After correcting the dryer malfunction which caused the thermal fuse to open, be sure to replace the high limit thermostat as well as the thermal fuse. This is necessary since the high limit thermostat is designed to open at a lower temperature than the thermal fuse, and failed to do so.

Note: As an additional precaution, check the total exhaust system (lint filter, vent duct, vent hood) for lint build-up and clean as necessary.

Identifying the parts:

  • Thermal Fuse (both models) – small unit with PINK DOT on body
  • High Limit (gas model) – small unit with YELLOW DOT on body
  • High Limit (electric model) – large unit with BLUE DOT on body
