Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers 3204267 AP2131477 PS446428 AH446428 EA446428 346549 Compatibility & Fitment Designed for use in select dryers manufactured by Frigidaire and Electrolux. Compatible with certain Kenmore models, including many in the 417 series. Also fits specific models from Crosley, Gibson, and Kelvinator. Verify fitment by confirming your appliance model number against the part number. When to Replace The dryer drum tumbles, but the appliance does not produce heat. The original thermostat fails a continuity test, indicating an open circuit. A tripped safety thermostat often indicates a separate issue, such as a clogged dryer vent. Inspect and clean the vent system when replacing this part to prevent recurrence. Installation Tips Disconnect the dryer from the electrical outlet before beginning installation. The thermostat is typically located on the heater box assembly, accessible from a rear panel. Confirm the original part has failed by testing it for continuity with a multimeter. Ensure the two wire leads are securely attached to the terminals of the new thermostat.
