This Part Fixes These Problems

No Heat

Dryer runs normally but produces no heat — the high limit thermostat has tripped or failed open, cutting power to the heating element permanently.

Overheating / Too Hot

Dryer runs excessively hot, scorching or over-drying clothes because the thermostat is not regulating temperature correctly.

Shuts Off Mid-Cycle

Dryer repeatedly stops before the cycle is complete due to the thermostat tripping too frequently from restricted airflow or a failing component.

Takes Too Long to Dry

Clothes require two or more cycles to fully dry because the thermostat is cutting out too early or intermittently interrupting heat.

💡 Pro Tip: Diagnose Your High Limit Thermostat

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Dryer runs but produces no heat at all

⚠️ Dryer repeatedly shuts off mid-cycle before clothes are dry

⚠️ Dryer runs extremely hot and scorches clothes

⚠️ Dryer takes two or more full cycles to dry a normal load

🔬 Use a multimeter set to continuity mode: remove the thermostat and probe both terminals. A good thermostat reads continuity at room temperature. An open (no continuity) reading confirms the part has failed and needs replacement. Always check lint filter and venting for blockage first — restricted airflow is the #1 cause of premature thermostat failure.

Questions & Answers

Will this thermostat fit my Frigidaire stacked washer/dryer laundry center?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. Part 3204267 is used on both freestanding Frigidaire dryers and stacked washer/dryer laundry center units (e.g., FFLE3900UW1, FFLE2022MW2). Please verify your model number against the compatibility list before ordering.
How do I know if the high limit thermostat is bad and not the heating element?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Use a multimeter set to continuity. At room temperature, a good high limit thermostat should show continuity (closed circuit). If your meter reads 'OL' or open circuit, the thermostat has failed. A failed heating element will show no continuity across its coil terminals — they are separate tests. Always test both before ordering parts.
What does L260-70F mean on the thermostat spec?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
L260-70F means the thermostat cuts out (opens the circuit) when the dryer temperature reaches 260°F to protect against overheating. The '-70F' means it will automatically reset and allow heating to resume once the temperature drops by 70°F. This is a resettable safety thermostat, not a one-time thermal fuse.
My dryer keeps tripping the thermostat repeatedly. Will replacing it fix the problem?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Repeated tripping almost always indicates a root cause — not a faulty thermostat. The most common cause is restricted airflow from a clogged lint filter, blocked exhaust vent, or a crushed vent hose. Clean your lint screen and inspect the full vent path first. If airflow is clear, check for a malfunctioning heating element that is generating excessive heat. Simply replacing the thermostat without fixing the root cause will result in the new part failing again.
Does this part also fit Kenmore, Electrolux, and Gibson dryers?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Yes. Part 3204267 was originally manufactured by Frigidaire and is shared across multiple brands built on the same platform, including Kenmore, Electrolux, Gibson, Crosley, Kelvinator, Tappan, and White Westinghouse. Cross-reference part numbers AP2131477, PS446428, AH446428, EA446428, 508516, 73204267, and 145160 all refer to this same component.
