Dryer Fixed and Adjustable Thermostats Most fixed thermostats are composed of a bimetallic disc that snaps from a normal position to an opposite position when sufficiently heated. This bimetallic disc operates an internal switch in the thermostat which, in its normal closed position, is wired in series with the heating circuit.
Dryer Thermostats Operation There are two types of thermostats used on most Whirlpool, Kenmore, GE, and Maytag electric and gas dryers - Fixed and Adjustable. These two types have three basic applications in a dryer - as operating or cycling thermostats, safety thermostats, and cool-down thermostats.
