Dryer limit thermostat 150-170 °F
This SUPCO LD170 thermostat serves as an automatic-reset safety limit for residential and light-commercial dryers. It opens on temperature rise using SPDT switch action and operates across a 120 to 240 volt range. Installers and maintenance technicians use it to replace failed OEM limit controls in compatible appliances.
Thermal cycling and electrical ratings
The device opens at 170 °F and closes again at 150 °F, providing a 20 °F differential for fan or heater cycling. Rated currents are 25 A, 14 A and 10 A with a 125 VA pilot-duty rating at the stated voltage range. The compact insertion body measures 1 inch high, 2 inches wide and 1-1/2 inches deep, weighing 0.06 lb.
HAWA drain-hose material and mounting
The housing uses HAWA material for durability in moist dryer environments. No wiring harness, brackets or configuration software are bundled; the thermostat installs directly into the existing insertion point. Buyers needing a different temperature range or a manual-reset design must select an alternative control.

Questions about this item
How do I install the LD170 thermostat and what step is often missed?
Mount the 1‑1/2 in. deep by 2 in. wide by 1 in. high body in the dryer's insertion opening, wire the SPDT terminals for 120‑240 V, then verify the 20 °F differential so the switch opens at 170 °F and resets at 150 °F — the differential check is the step most often skipped.
What maintenance or replacement will the LD170 thermostat need later?
The automatic‑reset limit switch is sealed and requires no routine service; replace the entire unit only if it fails to open at 170 °F or close at 150 °F after repeated cycles.
What limit appears first when the LD170 thermostat runs continuously?
The 25 A / 125 VA contact rating at 120‑240 V is the first ceiling; sustained loads above 14 A resistive or 10 A inductive will overheat the SPDT contacts before the 150‑170 °F temperature range is reached.
