Amana Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch that opens and closes the heating circuit to control heat. Replacing a worn or failed thermostat restores consistent temperature regulation and helps protect your appliance from overheating, shutdowns, or underheating.

• Monitors internal temperature and cycles the circuit on and off as designed
• Helps prevent overheating by opening at its calibrated threshold
• Failure can cause no heat, overheating, or intermittent cycling
• Irregular temperatures or longer run times are common symptoms

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas, if applicable). Allow the appliance to cool completely before service.
• Note wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to the new thermostat.
• Mount the thermostat firmly/flush against its mating surface or bracket for accurate sensing.
• Use a multimeter to check continuity per your model's service specs; replace if out of tolerance.

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 element repair kit restores a safe, solid electrical connection to an electric range/cooktop surface burner, helping the element heat consistently and reducing arcing after the original connector has overheated or loosened.

• Repairs a damaged or heat-weakened surface element connection
• Helps resolve a burner that won't heat or heats intermittently
• Addresses visible scorching, melting, or arcing at the element plug-in
• Supports a snug, reliable fit for the element prongs

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before servicing; allow the cooking surface to cool completely
• Match connector orientation and move one wire at a time to avoid miswiring
• Inspect wire insulation and element terminals; replace any parts with burnt, pitted, or loose contacts
• Ensure the element seats firmly after repair and verify proper operation before regular use

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

This thermostat monitors appliance temperature and opens or closes its electrical contacts to regulate heat and protect against overheating. Replacing a failed thermostat restores consistent temperature control and reliable appliance operation. What it does:

• Senses temperature at its mounting location and switches the circuit on/off to regulate heat
• Helps protect the unit by opening the circuit if temperature exceeds its design limit
• A failing thermostat can cause no heat, overheating/shutoffs, or erratic temperature cycling
• Restores correct temperature control when the original thermostat is stuck open/closed or out of tolerance

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply and allow the appliance to cool completely
• Note wire positions or take a photo; transfer wires one at a time to the new thermostat
• Mount the thermostat flush to the mating surface; reuse proper fasteners for a secure fit
• After installation, monitor initial operation and address airflow/venting or lint buildup that could cause overheating

This thermal fuse/thermostat kit replaces the dryer overheat safety components to help restore proper thermal protection and prevent overheating. It's used where the dryer fails to heat correctly or stops running due to a safety trip. What it does:

• Serves as the dryer's overheat safety cut-off, interrupting power when temperatures exceed safe limits
• Replaces failed thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat that can cause no-heat or intermittent operation
• Helps stop overheating that could damage the heating element or drum components
• Works with the dryer's control system to prevent unsafe temperature rise

• Disconnect power before starting — this part is on the appliance's electrical/heating circuit
• Access typically requires removing the dryer back panel or control panel; follow OEM service instructions
• Test wiring and continuity before and after replacement; replace both parts if either shows damage

A high limit thermostat that stops heat when a dryer's temperature gets too hot, helping protect the heating system and cabinet from overheating. It's a direct-replacement thermostat used in many gas and electric dryer heater assemblies. What it does:

• Opens the heating circuit if temperatures exceed safe limits to prevent overheating.
• Helps protect the heating element, housing, and internal components from heat damage.
• A failed thermostat can cause no heat or intermittent heating in the dryer.
• Works with the dryer's safety controls to maintain normal operating temperature.

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing; allow unit to cool completely.
• Located on or near the heater box or blower housing; follow your model's service manual for access.
• Replace with the exact part number to maintain original safety settings.

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

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