What the 3387134 + 3392519 does
The 3387134 is the cycling thermostat that turns the heating element on and off to maintain drum temperature. The 3392519 is the thermal fuse, a one shot safety part that opens permanently if the dryer overheats. Both go bad around the same time (the thermal fuse blows because the cycling thermostat let temperatures climb too high).
Symptoms when this part fails
- Dryer runs but no heat (thermal fuse open)
- Dryer won't start at all (some models, fuse interrupts the start circuit)
- Dryer overheats during cycle (cycling thermostat stuck closed)
- Both parts test as open circuit on a multimeter
