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.

Answer

Hello Sir, Open the oven door and look on the inside edge near the bottom on both sides. You will see one screw on each side. Remove the screw and the trim piece that it went through will pull out at the bottom about an inch then it slides straight down. Removing this trim piece on each side will expose the screws that mount the unit to the cabinet. You should use two people to move the unit so you don't get hurt and don't forget to turn off the breaker and verify you turned off the correct breaker. Gloves are strongly recommended also.
