The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part prevents the dryer from overheating by cutting off power to the heating element if the dryer exceeds a safe temperature. It helps protect the appliance and home from potential fire hazards caused by overheating.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include lint buildup restricting airflow, a malfunctioning thermostat, or excessive load causing the dryer to overheat.  

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• Dryer not starting
• Dryer not producing heat
• Dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• No power to the dryer despite other electrical components functioning

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This cycling thermostat regulates on/off heat cycles to maintain consistent operating temperature. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper temperature control and helps protect the appliance from overheating or underheating during normal operation.

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes contacts to control the heating circuit
• Helps prevent overheating; supports stable, repeatable heat cycling
• Common failure symptoms include no heat, overheating/shutting off too soon, or longer-than-normal run times
• Electrical component—failure may be intermittent before complete loss of function

• Disconnect power (and gas supply, if applicable) before service
• Note wire locations; transfer connectors one at a time to the new thermostat
• Mount firmly against the mating surface for accurate temperature sensing
• After installation, verify proper operation and temperature cycling

A high-limit thermostat that stops the dryer's heating circuit if internal temperatures get too high, helping prevent overheating and protecting heating components. Replaces a failed high-limit thermostat to restore overheat protection. What it does

• Opens the heating circuit when dryer temperature exceeds the thermostat set point to prevent overheating.
• Commonly related symptoms: dryer runs but produces little or no heat, dryer gets unusually hot, or the thermal cutoff repeatedly fails.
• Works as part of the dryer's temperature-safety system to protect heating elements, fuses, and internal wiring.

• One high-limit thermostat

• Disconnect power before accessing the dryer and work only after panels are cool.
• Take a photo or label wires before removal to ensure correct reconnection.
• Test the thermostat for continuity with a multimeter to confirm failure before replacing.
• If other safety devices (thermal fuse, cycling thermostat, element) show symptoms, inspect and test those components too.

This 250V, 1A fuse protects your washer's control circuit from overcurrent. Replacing it can restore control power once the root cause is corrected.

• Opens to protect electronics when current exceeds its 1A rating
• Check this part if the washer has no power, the control panel is dead, or it won't start
• A blown fuse will test open for continuity
• Repeated failure points to an underlying short or component fault that must be fixed

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the fuse at the control board or fuse holder
• Replace only with the same rating: 1A, 250V
• Inspect wiring/components and correct any short before restoring power

The thermal cutoff is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This thermal cutoff plays an important safety role by automatically shutting off power to the dryer's heating element in the event of excessive temperatures.

The thermal cutoff is responsible for monitoring air temperatures inside the dryer drum and air ducts. As temperatures rise past safe levels, the thermal cutoff triggers, cutting power to prevent damage and possible fire hazards.

Causes of a bad thermal cutoff can include overheating from issues such as a clogged or blocked vent hose, venting into an unvented space, an accumulation of lint, or a failing vent switch.

Symptoms of a bad thermal cutoff include:

• The dryer not heating up or heating unevenly
• Repeatedly tripping the circuit breaker during operation
• Scorching or burning odors detected from the dryer drum or vent
