Parts for Ge AZ85E18EACM1: 03 - Control Parts

This fuse protects your appliance's electrical circuit from overcurrent. When the fuse opens, power to the controls or components is interrupted. Replace a blown fuse to restore protection and help prevent additional circuit damage.

• Opens the circuit during a short or surge to protect wiring and electronics
• Signs of a blown fuse: appliance dead/no power, display or controls unresponsive, interior lights out
• Typically fails due to shorted components, pinched wiring, or a power spike
• Tests open (no continuity) with a meter when failed

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before servicing; some models contain capacitors that can retain a charge.
• Access the fuse, verify it is open with a continuity test, and note its placement.
• Replace only with the exact fuse type and rating specified for your model; never bypass or upsize a fuse.
• If a replacement fuse blows again, locate and correct the underlying short before restoring power.

This electrical fuse protects your appliance's circuitry by opening the circuit when a fault or overload occurs. Replacing a blown fuse restores safe power flow and helps prevent further electrical damage. What it does:

• Protects the appliance's electrical circuit by interrupting power if an overcurrent condition occurs
• Stops power to control boards or motors when the original fuse has blown
• Common symptom: appliance has no power or will not start despite power at the outlet
• Common symptom: intermittent power or repeated fuse failure indicating an underlying fault

• One replacement fuse

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or switch off circuit breaker) before servicing
• Verify the fuse is the correct OEM part number and is visibly blown before replacing
• Avoid touching live terminals; use insulated tools if needed
• If the new fuse blows again, stop and diagnose the underlying issue
