Same heater resistance as 240v thermostat

I got one of those 4 item dryer replacement kits from Revain, but the cycling thermostat said 240 volts, which I assume is for the heater element (2 smaller pins) since all electric dryers use 240 volts. I bought this one because it said 120 volts, and the thermostat heater in my dryer runs off a 120 volt circuit, and is supposed to have a resistance of 3500 ohms. This one had a resistance of 7800 ohms, the same as the 240 volt version. After changing out the faulty 250F high limit therm from the original order and replacing the 309F fuse in that kit with a 352F fuse (per spec), the dryer works and cycles OK now, but I am keeping it on the delicate setting for now since I don't want it to get too hot and blow out the high limit (352F) fuse again. Even the delicate setting gets plenty hot, but I wish all these dryer parts had better specs listed so you wouldn't have to order over and over again to find the right combination. But they are all made in China so it's hard to tell what you're going to get.

Pros
  • Works at proper temp. Will need more time to see longevity.
Cons
  • The product may not be available for international shipping.
