This thermostat controls the internal drying temperature.
Cycling themostats continually cycle the heating element off and on to maintain a constant inner temperature. This particular cycling thermostat has a limit of 150 degrees Fahrenheit and a differential of 25 degrees. Meaning that with this thermostat, the heating element will cut out at 150 degrees and cycle back on once the internal temperature drops by 25 degrees.

Old Maytag Dryer Overheats, Then Shuts Off Before Cycle Finished
Unplug Dryer. Remove two screws from front panel of dryer on lower left and right. Dryer front will swing out and up to release the hinges at the top of front panel. Set panel aside to the left and remove wires from switch at inner top left of panel (if necessary). There are 3 thermostats in this dryer. Two are set together at lower l
... Read moreeft and one is on lower right and sits back a little. This Cycling Thermostat is one of the two (on the lower left) and in my dryer, was the one on the right of these two. Check to make sure the numbers (and wire colors) on the replacement match with the thermostat being replaced, because it could be different from mine (Maytag couldn't tell me the difference). Remove the 3 wires from the thermostat with needle nose pliers and then use a 1/4" deep socket to unscrew the thermostat. Replace in reverse order.

I then checked it and sure enough that is what was the problem, it was only get power on one leg of the breaker. Put in a new circuit breaker and every thing works great.

Hello Eran, Thank you for the question. Thank you for taking an interest in our site, however, we only ship our parts throughout the continental US and Canada. We do not ship overseas.
One option is to get in touch with a friend or family member in the US or Canada if you have any people here, another would be to use a freight forwarder in the US or Canada, to whom we can ship the part and who would then forward the part to you. You would need to make these arrangements accordingly. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
