Customer Questions and Answers for Thermal Fuse (Disposable, One Time Fuse) by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18024936
Manufacturer Part Number: WP3390719

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is a critical safety component designed to protect the dryer from overheating by blowing and cutting off power if the temperature exceeds safe limits. This disposable, one-time fuse is essential for preventing potential fire hazards and ensuring the appliance operates within safe temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad Thermal Fuse include:

  • The dryer not starting or suddenly stopping during a cycle
  • No heat being produced while the dryer is running
  • Unexplained cessation of all dryer functions

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can stem from restricted airflow due to lint buildup, a malfunctioning heating element that causes excessive temperatures, or other electrical issues within the dryer.

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

Answer

Joe, The first thing to check, is 240 VAC at the terminal block on the back of the dryer and any possible loose or damaged wiring there. The thermal fuse you have listed, controls power to the motor, not the heater. You want to recheck the hi limit switch and thermal fuse on the heater assembly 279769 and wiring at that location, if you haven't already, then the cycling thermostat 279769. From there we're getting into a motor or a timer, but we need to check the other components first. Thanks and Good Luck
