Customer Questions and Answers for Outlet Thermal Fuse by Frigidaire

The Outlet Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It acts as a safety device that protects the dryer from overheating by cutting off the power if the temperature exceeds a safe level. This ensures the dryer operates safely and helps prevent potential fire hazards.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include lint buildup blocking airflow, overloading the dryer, or mechanical failures in the heating element. These issues can cause the dryer to overheat, leading to the fuse blowing as a protective measure.

Symptoms of a bad outlet thermal fuse include:

• The dryer not starting
• The dryer running but not heating
• Sudden stopping during a cycle
• No power to the dryer

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
