Customer Questions and Answers for Thermal Fuse by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18042057
Manufacturer Part Number: WP9759243

The Upper Oven Thermal Fuse is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool double wall ovens. Located near the upper oven heating element, this safety device protects the upper oven cavity from excessive heat rises. If temperatures get too high, the fuse automatically cuts power to prevent overheating.

Symptoms of a blown upper oven thermal fuse include:

  • The upper oven failing to heat or losing total heating function
  • Burning smells emanating from the upper oven cavity
  • Safety shutdown errors related to over-temperature conditions

Common causes are airflow restriction trapping heat or faulty wiring allowing overheating. Natural aging also deteriorates fuses over extended use cycles.

Compatible brands include KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore wall oven models.

Chuck H for Model Number RBS305PD

Control Panel for my Whirlpool Double Oven went out after cleaning cycle. Thanks stories and instructions on your website, I ordered and replaced the Thermal Fuse. Now the panel works, and the lower oven works, but not the top. Once again, thanks to your website, it looks like I need to replace the Thermal Overload (AP3885687). The instructions on your site for accessing the panel were clear and accurate. Can you provide instructions for removing the oven to access the rear in order to replace the Thermal Overload?

Answer

Chuck, When you open the door of the ovens there will be a screw on the side panel trim that you will need to remove and then pull out on the bottom of the trim, slide down and pull off. This will be for both sides. Once you have the trim off there will be screws holding going into the cabinet, remove the screws and this will allow you to slide the unit out to access the back.
