Good day,
You have the standard heating system on that model dryer.
It uses a standard thermal fuse which is a long skinny white bakelite device, with 2 wires on it and held in with one screw.
I hope we are talking about the same thing. The thermal, and all thermostats on this machine are located in various places on the back of the machine behind the rear panel.
If all else fails, remove the device you are talking about, and along with the model number you posted and take it to a local appliance parts house.
Any good appliance counterman will have the answer.
Good day again,
That part number you listed is for a high limit thermostat #3403140. It is one of many thermostats in the machine along with the thermal fuse which is used as well.
Due to liability issues, appliance manufacturers have gone overboard in protection devices
including the 2 we are covering here. There are more.
