Parts for Maytag CWE601: 05 - Door Lock Assembly Parts

This safety thermostat monitors internal temperature and opens the circuit if the appliance overheats. Replacing a failed high-limit thermostat restores heat and helps protect controls, wiring, and nearby components from thermal damage. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and interrupts power to the heating circuit if an unsafe temperature is reached
• Helps prevent overheating damage to internal components
• When failed open, can cause no heat or cause the unit to shut off during high-heat operation
• At room temperature it should read closed/continuous; an open reading indicates replacement is needed

• 1 high-limit thermostat

• Disconnect power at the breaker (and shut off gas supply if applicable) before servicing
• Access location varies by model; commonly mounted to the oven cavity, plenum, or rear panel
• Transfer wires one at a time and mount the thermostat flush to its surface or bracket
• After replacement, verify proper airflow/cooling and address any root causes of overheating
