This Part Fixes These Problems

No Heat

Dryer drum spins and fan runs but produces zero heat — the hi-limit thermostat has tripped or failed open, cutting power to the heating element.

Overheating

Clothes come out extremely hot or the dryer feels dangerously warm — the thermostat is stuck closed and no longer shutting off the heating element at the correct temperature.

Shuts Off Mid-Cycle

Dryer stops running before the cycle completes, often due to the thermostat intermittently tripping from fatigue or partial failure.

Not Enough Heat / Long Dry Times

Clothes remain damp after a full cycle because the thermostat is cycling erratically, preventing the drum from reaching and holding the correct drying temperature.

Will Not Start

On some models a failed thermostat assembly can interrupt the control circuit and prevent the dryer from powering on at all.

Product Description

Why Choose Our 6931EL3001F Hi-Limit Thermostat Assembly?

🔧
Built to OEM SpecificationsRated 250V / 25A, thermal rating L125-31C (125°C / 257°F trip point). Dimensions 2"L × 1¾"W × 1¼"H with 0.25" terminals — matches original LG factory spec exactly.
🛡️
Rear High-Limit Safety DeviceMounted on the heater housing, this thermostat shuts off the heating element the instant internal temperature exceeds the safe limit — protecting your home from fire hazards.
🔌
3-Terminal DesignFeatures three tin-plated brass terminals (0.25" width). The dual terminals on one end are electrically common, supporting both standard and flow-sensing model configurations.
🏷️
Wide Cross-Reference CoverageDirectly replaces OEM part numbers AP5072172, PS3530482, 1377779, AH3530482, EA3530482, EAP3530482, PD00023316. One part solves compatibility across hundreds of LG and Kenmore dryer models.
⚙️
Includes Mounting BracketComes pre-assembled with mounting bracket — just remove the old thermostat, secure with the existing screws, and reconnect the wire harness. No specialty hardware required.
💰
Save vs. OEM PricingOEM equivalent retails at $45–$49 at major parts dealers. Our aftermarket replacement delivers the same performance and fit at a fraction of the cost — no repair technician needed.

💡 Pro Tip: Diagnosing a Failed Hi-Limit Thermostat

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

⚠️ Dryer runs but produces no heat at all

⚠️ Dryer shuts off mid-cycle unexpectedly

⚠️ Dryer overheats — clothes extremely hot or scorched

⚠️ Extended drying times due to inconsistent or intermittent heating

🔍 Before ordering, set your multimeter to continuity/resistance mode and probe across the two main terminals of the thermostat. A good thermostat reads near-zero ohms (closed circuit) at room temperature. An open reading (OL/infinite) confirms failure. Always replace the thermal fuse (6931EL3003D) at the same time — they typically fail together.

Questions & Answers

Does this thermostat replace part number AP5072172?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. Part 6931EL3001F is the direct OEM manufacturer number, and AP5072172 is an industry cross-reference number for the exact same part. It also replaces PS3530482, 1377779, AH3530482, and EA3530482.
My new thermostat has 3 terminals but the old one only had 2 — is this correct?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Yes, this is normal. The 6931EL3001F has three terminals; the two terminals on the same end are electrically identical. On models that only need two connections, simply leave the third terminal unconnected. It will not affect operation.
Should I also replace the thermal fuse 6931EL3003D at the same time?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
We strongly recommend it. The hi-limit thermostat and the thermal fuse work together to protect the heater. When one fails due to overheating, the other is often stressed as well. Replacing both at the same time prevents a repeat no-heat call-back.
How do I know if my 6931EL3001F thermostat has failed before ordering?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Set your multimeter to the continuity or resistance (Ω) setting. With the dryer unplugged, probe the two main terminals of the thermostat. At room temperature a good thermostat should show near-zero resistance (closed). If the meter reads OL or infinite resistance, the thermostat is open and must be replaced.
Is this part compatible with Kenmore dryers as well as LG?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Yes. LG manufactures many Kenmore-branded dryers sold through Sears, and the 6931EL3001F thermostat fits a wide range of Kenmore 796.6xxxx and 796.8xxxx series models in addition to LG DLE and DLEX series dryers. Please check the model compatibility list or contact us with your full model number to confirm fitment.
