Hi Kevin, is this the thermostat at the bottom of the heater box [ assuming the dryer is electric ] if so does it have 2 or 3 wires attaching to it ?
If it is an electric dryer it would be a 290F safety thermostat and a replacement is easy to find.
Do you need any other parts for this dryer ?

Hi Kevin, Fabric Master was referring to the auto dry system this dryer used, this dryer uses a Time-Temperature combination to tell when the clothes load is dry, a system still widely used today.
Higher end KM dryers were already using an electronic sensor system when your dryer was built. as far as finding ads for this dryer about the best thing is old Sears catalogues, Sears did not do as much magazine advertising as many appliance manufactures did in this time period to promote their products.
I will try to remember to look and see if I have a thermostat for your dryer today.

The model number indicates the dryer is a 1968 model, so it must have been manufactured during the last quarter of 1967. |
