This Part Fixes These Problems

No Heat

Dryer drum spins normally but no heat is produced — thermostat has shorted open, cutting power to the heating element or gas burner.

Insufficient Heat / Long Dry Times

Clothes take multiple cycles to dry because the thermostat is cutting heat prematurely before the rated temperature is reached.

Dryer Shuts Off Mid-Cycle

Unit repeatedly stops heating or turns off during a cycle as the high limit thermostat trips due to overheating, often from a clogged exhaust vent.

Dryer Overheats

Excessive heat inside the drum or exterior cabinet because the thermostat fails to open at the correct temperature, allowing uncontrolled heat build-up.

Product Description

Why Choose Our 6931EL3003C High Limit Thermostat?

🔧
Built to OEM Specifications110°C (230°F) manual-reset cut-off rating; rectangular body ~1" × 1"; overall span ~2" tip-to-tip; 2× 1/4" male spade terminals; one mounting tab bent to slot-mount securely onto heater housing.
🌡️
Critical Overheat ProtectionContinuously monitors drum air temperature. When internal heat exceeds the rated limit it instantly interrupts power to the heating element or gas burner, preventing appliance damage and fire risk.
🔄
Manual-Reset DesignUnlike one-time-use thermal fuses, this resettable thermostat can be manually reset after the root cause (blocked vent, faulty cycling thermostat) is corrected — saving repeat replacement costs.
🔗
Wide Cross-Reference CoverageDirectly replaces PS3530484, AP4457603, 1268365, 6931EL3003G, EAP1631335, PS1631335, PD00001897 — one part number covering years of LG and Kenmore gas & electric dryer production.
⚡
Easy 30-Minute DIY InstallOnly a Phillips screwdriver and flathead screwdriver required. Disconnect two spade terminals, unscrew one or two mounting screws, swap the thermostat, and reassemble — no soldering or special tools needed.
✅
Works with Gas & Electric ModelsCompatible with both LG gas dryers (DLG series) and electric dryers (DLE/DLEX series), as well as Kenmore-branded equivalents sold through Sears — one part for your entire fleet.

💡 Pro Tip: Diagnosing a Failed High Limit Thermostat

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

⚠️ Dryer runs but produces no heat or insufficient heat

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

⚠️ Drum spins normally but heating element / burner never fires

⚠️ Dryer trips the high limit thermostat repeatedly — often signals a clogged exhaust duct or a faulty cycling thermostat (6931EL3004B) causing excessive back-heat

🛠 Veteran tip: Set your multimeter to continuity/resistance mode and probe both spade terminals at room temperature. A healthy thermostat shows a closed circuit (near 0 Ω). An open circuit confirms failure. Before replacing, always check and clear the exhaust duct — a blocked vent is the #1 root cause of repeated thermostat failures on LG dryers.

Questions & Answers

Is the 6931EL3003C a resettable thermostat or a one-time thermal fuse?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
The 6931EL3003C is a manual-reset high limit thermostat rated at 110°C, not a one-time thermal fuse. After it trips due to overheating it can be reset — however, always investigate and fix the root cause (blocked vent, faulty cycling thermostat 6931EL3004B) before resetting or replacing it.
My 6931EL3003C keeps tripping repeatedly. What should I check first?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Repeated tripping almost always means excessive heat is building up in the dryer. Check and clean the exhaust duct from the dryer to the exterior wall — even a partially blocked duct dramatically raises internal temperatures. Also test the cycling thermostat (6931EL3004B); if it isn't opening at the correct temperature it will allow heat to accumulate until the high limit trips.
Does this thermostat fit both LG gas dryers (DLG) and electric dryers (DLE/DLEX)?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Yes. The 6931EL3003C is used across LG gas dryer models (DLG series) and LG electric dryer models (DLE/DLEX series), as well as Kenmore-branded equivalents. The thermostat performs the same high-limit safety function in both gas and electric configurations — it cuts power to the burner or heating element respectively when the rated temperature is exceeded.
How do I test my existing 6931EL3003C thermostat to confirm it has failed?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Set a multimeter to the continuity or resistance (Ω) setting. Disconnect the dryer from power, remove the thermostat, and probe both spade terminals. At room temperature a good thermostat shows a closed circuit (continuity / near 0 Ω resistance). If the meter reads open circuit (OL / infinite resistance) the thermostat has failed and must be replaced.
What other part numbers does the 6931EL3003C replace, and what tools are needed for installation?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
The 6931EL3003C directly replaces PS3530484, AP4457603, 1268365, 6931EL3003G, EAP1631335, PS1631335, and PD00001897. For installation you need only a Phillips screwdriver and a flathead screwdriver. The repair typically takes 20–30 minutes. Always unplug the dryer before starting and wear work gloves to protect your hands.
