Thermal cutout switch - Roper REX4634KQ Electric Dryer

You will need a clamp on amp meter to check current draw. the thermal cutout tripped because the temp exceeded the safety limit.

on top of the boiler one cable is clipped tightly to the top under a piece of clear plastic tube.This is a thermal cutout in case of over heating,all power comes through this. Check both ends of this cable with a meter to see if there is con tinuity. If not the thermal cutout has blown and needs to be replaced. I believe this item is difficult to source.

if it's a thermal cutout that's mounted on the circuit board you may have to replace the whole board. I don't have the carrier error codes at hand. But a "thermal cutout" is normally found on the compressor. One advantage of the old (before digital) systems is that the controls were all separate. So you could replace a bad high pressure switch or contactor. Without having to replace a expensive circuit board that held most of the controls.
Not to mention being easy to damage by power surges and lightning

Hi, Eight years is unreal. I was going to suggest that the boiler elelment i s starting to fail, but i think it could be a thermal cut out which is positioned on the boiler. Thermal cutouts are connected to the main toggel switch. The thermal cutout turns of the power when activated. You can check it wity a meter (approx 12kOmhs). Id replace the thermal cut out anyway. They do ware out.

Usually, there are 2 or 3 thremal cutouts in these machines (Side by side).

They should be changed together. I'm not sure if THT1001 is a hotpoint part number.

If you're in the UK, then go look at:
http://www.tdspares.co.uk/products.asp?cat=68 where you will get the pair for £8.95

My searches get drowned by UK entries because that's where I am!) If you're in the US, just google "hotpoint tumble thermal cutout" and you'll find loads (Note that proces vary hugely from $10 a pair to about $25!)

There are seperate thermal (overheat) cutout devices for both the top and bottom ovens. First check to see if the lower oven fan is running ok and is not restricted by grease or fat (there are 4 self tapping screws that hold the fan cover on) and the thermostat is switching off and on as it should. You should also check that the main background cooling fan is running and switches off a few mins after the ovens have turned off. If these check out ok, then it is possibly the lower oven thermal cutout.

The following List of things would cause that, you can test each one till you find it or drop it at a service center...

-oven fuse
-thermal cutout
-door interlock switch or monitor switch
-thermal cutout
-fan jammed or faulty
-diode
-circuit board, triac or magnetron

let me lnow if you want any further instructions...
~chuck : testamonials appreciated!!!

There is a thermal cutout on the motor causing this problem because it is overheating. Either it needs the filter replacing and a good blowout with compressed air or the thermal switch is faulty. Try replacing the filters first and if the problem persists it is probably a faulty thermal cutout. Dyson can either replace under warranty or an engineer will call and do a home refurb for a fixed price of £60

the thermal cutout is the thermostats u have two in a dryer one for the low heat and one for the high heat there just called a thermal cutout switch because it prevents the dryer from over-heating and setting a fire m8 but before you buy one just check if your thermostat for the lower heat might have a small reset button attached to it if it does then press this and if it not faulty will reset itself to start heating up again its that one with the reset buton that are called a thermal cut-out switch let me know which country you live in and i should be able to find you the cheapest web site to order from m8
