GARP LA-1053 Replacement Dryer Thermostat Fuse Kit

I have a Maytage Performa washer and dryer that are about 18 years old. Dryer stopped working last week after having family in town. After tearing it all apart I traced the problem to the smaller thermal fuse using my multimeter testing for continuity. This was one of the best prices for the part I could find. Popped the new one in today and works fine again. Only ended up needing one so no I have an extra for each thermostat. Very pleased that I was able to fix for $10 rather than going out and spending a few $100 on a new machine.

The part worked. I could buy two of them and still have change compared to the best price I can find locally. The part came in a few days. The part is easy to install. The whole job takes about 10-15 minutes. There are videos out there that can guide a novice step-by-step. Everything works fine. You can save a lot of money doing it yourself rather than calling the repair dude.

Our dryer stopped working after 17 years. Now 17 years is a long time, so I was OK with the prospect of needing to buy a new dryer. However as a last ditch effort I searched the web for possible causes why the dryer might have stopped working, for no apparent reason. A few YouTube trouble shooting tutorials later I had determined that the dryer's thermal fuse had blown. Since the repair looked relatively straight forward I figured I would get the replacement parts and give it a try. I figured for under $15 why not, and the GARP solution look like a good replacement option (was looking for a LA-1053 kit). With Prime the kit arrived in two days. In literally 15 minutes I had the thermal fuse and thermostat replaced. Turned on the dryer and it was back in business like nothing had ever happened. One of the quickest DIY jobs and saved a few hundred dollars postponing the purchase of a new dryer for another 17 years ;) The GARP replacement kit provided a perfect substitute parts for my Dryer.

The red dot was pink. Otherwise, the part worked.

Works as described. part is not an original like the photo shows.

Worked perfect and easy to install plus it was cheaper than other brand ,,,,

The smaller fuse worked fine, but the large fuse broke while I was removing the wire to reposition it. Luckily I just needed the smaller fuse.

It actually did not work on the old Amana dryer that I was trying to fix, because it was not the original thermostat that I needed (which is not found anywhere anymore). But that is not the seller's fault. I tried to fix it with this similar looking thermostat, but it just did not work.

I just love it! Thanks! :)
