DIY Replacement of the Speed Queen D510701 Dryer High Limit Thermostat

Are you having problems with your Speed Queen D510701 Dryer not properly drying your laundry? If this is the case, it may be time for you to replace the dryer's high limit thermostat. Replacing the dryer's high limit thermostat on your own can be a relatively simple task and will help save you money on a service call. Follow these easy instructions to replace the high limit thermostat and get back to drying your laundry.

Step 1: Unplug your Speed Queen D510701 Dryer
Before you begin the process of replacing the high limit thermostat, you need to make sure that your dryer is fully unplugged from any electrical outlets. This will keep you safe from any accidental shock or electrocution.

Step 2: Remove the back cover of the dryer
Once your dryer is unplugged, you will need to remove the back cover of the dryer in order to gain access to the high limit thermostat. The cover can be removed by unscrewing the screws that are holding it in place. Put the screws somewhere safe to ensure that you will be able to replace them later on.

Step 3: Locate the high limit thermostat
Once the back cover is removed, you should be able to easily find the high limit thermostat. The thermostat will be clearly labeled. It will be a small, square-shaped component that is usually connected to two wires.

Step 4: Disconnect the wires
Once you have located the high limit thermostat, you will need to disconnect the two wires that are connected to it. This can be done by gently pulling the wires away from the connector. Once the wires are disconnected, you can remove the old thermostat.

Step 5: Install the new thermostat
Once the old thermostat has been removed, you will be able to install the new one. Simply plug the two wires into the connector on the new thermostat, making sure the connections are secure. Then, firmly press the new thermostat into place.

Step 6: Replace the back cover
Once the new thermostat has been installed, all that is left to do is to replace the back cover of your dryer. Simply screw the cover back into place and make sure all the screws are tight.

Once these steps have been completed, your Speed Queen D510701 Dryer will be up and running again. You have successfully replaced the dryer's high limit thermostat and are now ready to resume drying your laundry!
