Easy Part To Replace
Finding the part on-line was easy and delivery was exceptionally quick. Following my receipt and installation of the part, however, I found out that my problem was likely a clogged dryer vent. Cleaning the hose and roof vent should have been done first.

overheating, squeeking
Unplung it, pop up the top and take it off, unplug the 2 plugs, take 2 screws out that hold the front door, take out the door. Get the belt loose from the back roller, pull out the entire drum. I changed all 3 thermostat, 2 in the back and 1 in the front, also change the rear bearing. Dryer works great now, no more squeeking and no more overheating it's like having a new dryer. I'm a woman and did it all by myself, save me a bunch of bucks!!!

You say the safety thermostat part no. Ps459798 fixes "no heat or not enough heat." doesn't it also fix overheating? My thermostat shows no resistance on an ohm meter, indicating that it is stuck closed, keeping the heating element turned on all the time.
For model number FSE747GES1
