Bakaoof Dryer Repair Kit with Thermal Fuse, Thermostats, and Thermistor

When a Maytag dryer has no heat, takes too long to dry, or shuts off early, this repair kit brings several listed thermal components together for a possible repair. It is aimed at specific MED-series models, so matching the dryer’s complete model number to the compatibility list is an important first step.

Rather than sourcing a single replacement part, the kit groups a thermostat, thermal fuses, and a high-limit thermostat assembly. That may be useful when the listed components are the parts being serviced, but the symptom alone does not confirm which part has failed.

It suits you if you are repairing one of the named dryers and need the included components. It may not suit you if your model is not listed or you have not identified which repair parts your dryer requires.

Practical tips

Start with the full model number on your dryer and compare it with the compatibility list. The listing names models including MED6000XR2, MED6000XG0, MED7000XG0, MED9000YG0, MEDB750YW1, MED7000XW0, MEDE500VW0, and MEDE300VW0, along with other variants. Similar-looking model numbers can differ, so don’t treat one listed model as proof that every dryer in the series is compatible.

Use the reported symptom as a clue, not a diagnosis. No heat or early shutdown may be among the issues this kit is intended to address, but those symptoms do not establish that every included part needs replacement. If you are comparing this kit with buying one component at a time, the kit makes more sense when its listed parts match the repair you have identified, a single-part purchase is more targeted when only one specific component is needed.

In the box

The package description lists one 8577274 dryer thermostat, one 3392519 thermal fuse, and a 280148 high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off kit. That last assembly is described as containing an 8557403 high-limit thermostat and an 8318314 thermal fuse. A separate thermistor is named in the product title, but it is not itemized in the package-contents description, so confirm the included parts if that component is central to your repair.

Buying verdict

This is a multi-part repair kit for shoppers whose dryer model appears in the compatibility list and whose repair calls for the components described. Its practical advantage over sourcing parts separately is having several listed thermal components in one package, the trade-off is that the symptom list cannot tell you which part is faulty, and the package description does not separately enumerate a thermistor. Choose it when the model and required parts line up, rather than relying on the series name or symptom alone.
