Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Dryer runs with no heat, igniter or heater circuit will not energize, thermal cutoff tests open, or repeated overheat-related shutdowns.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Open cutoff, discolored terminals, high-heat damage, lint-restricted venting, or old cutoff number matching the W11050897 family.

Pro Tip: Correct airflow issues first. Thermal cutoff failures usually indicate overheating from restricted venting, blower problems, or heater control faults.
