WP8557403 Whirlpool Dryer High Limit Thermostat

The WP8557403 is a genuine OEM Whirlpool high-limit thermostat engineered with a 295°F safety threshold and 80°F reset differential to protect your dryer from overheating.

This dual-terminal component automatically disengages the heating element when temperatures exceed safe limits, then reactivates heat as the drum cools.

It resolves inadequate drying, premature cycle termination, temperature extremes, and start failures across Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef dryers.

Also recognized as a safety thermostat, this OEM part maintains precise thermal regulation and prevents damage while restoring consistent, reliable drying performance.
