Crosley Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

This cycling thermostat regulates exhaust temperature by switching the heater on and off to maintain proper drying heat. Replacing a failed thermostat restores consistent temperatures, helps auto-dry timing, and protects against fabric-damaging overheating.

• Controls the heating circuit to maintain target drying temperatures
• Provides temperature feedback for accurate auto-dry operation
• Common symptoms: long dry times, very hot drum/cabinet or scorching odors, auto-dry not advancing correctly, or no heat if the thermostat fails open
• Typically mounted on the blower housing to sense exhaust air temperature

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the thermostat (commonly on the blower housing); remove the necessary panel(s)
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new thermostat and mount it flat against the housing
• Reassemble, verify clear venting/airflow, and run a test cycle

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part prevents the dryer from overheating by cutting off power to the heating element if the dryer exceeds a safe temperature. It helps protect the appliance and home from potential fire hazards caused by overheating.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include lint buildup restricting airflow, a malfunctioning thermostat, or excessive load causing the dryer to overheat.  

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• Dryer not starting
• Dryer not producing heat
• Dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• No power to the dryer despite other electrical components functioning

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

This dryer thermostat monitors internal air temperature and opens/closes the heater circuit to keep drying safe and consistent. Replacing a weak or failed thermostat restores proper heat and helps prevent overheating or nuisance shutdowns. What it does:

• Senses exhaust/heater housing temperature and switches the heating circuit based on temperature
• Helps maintain target drying temperatures for consistent performance
• Provides over-temperature protection by opening the circuit if heat rises too high
• Common symptoms include no heat or weak heat, long dry times, heat cutting out mid-cycle, or the dryer running hotter than normal

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; heating components can be live and hot
• Access location varies by model; typically mounted on the heater or blower housing behind a rear or front panel
• Transfer wires from the old thermostat to the new one one-at-a-time and secure firmly; ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat
• After replacement, check and clear the venting/duct for proper airflow to prevent repeat failures

This cycling thermostat regulates your dryer's internal air temperature by switching the heat source on and off, helping prevent overheating and keeping drying performance consistent. Replace it if temperatures are erratic, items run too hot, or dry times increase. What it does:

• Monitors drum air temperature and opens/closes to control the heater
• Maintains stable temperatures across fabric/temperature settings
• Failure symptoms include no or low heat, overheating/scorch smells, long dry times, or inconsistent cycling
• Helps protect against damage from excessive heat when functioning correctly

• 1 cycling thermostat

• Disconnect power; if it's a gas dryer, also shut off the gas supply
• Allow the unit to cool; access the thermostat (typically on an internal air duct or blower housing); note wire positions
• Transfer wires to the new thermostat one at a time; mount flush against the metal surface; do not overtighten
• After installation, clean lint passages and ensure proper airflow and temperature control

This sensor monitors humidity inside the microwave cavity so sensor-cook and reheat features can automatically adjust time and power. Replacing a failing sensor restores accurate automatic cooking and helps prevent premature shutdowns or "Sensor" error messages.

• Detects steam/humidity in the cavity during sensor-based cooking cycles
• Sends feedback to the control to optimize cook time and power levels
• Failure can cause "Sensor" errors, sensor-cook cycles that won't start or end early
• Manual timed cooking may still work while sensor-cook modes misbehave

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge
• Access is typically behind the top grille/control area; note sensor orientation before removal
• Handle the sensor by its body; avoid contaminating the sensing face
• Route wiring as original and ensure the connector is fully seated before reassembly

This moisture sensor monitors dampness inside the dryer drum and signals the control when fabrics are dry, helping automatic cycles end on time and avoid overdrying. Replacing a failed sensor can restore consistent Auto Dry performance and cycle times. What it does:

• Detects moisture level via conductivity across the sensor surfaces inside the drum
• Sends feedback to the control so Auto Dry cycles advance and stop correctly
• Helps prevent overdrying and underdrying in sensor-based cycles
• Common symptoms of a faulty sensor may include: auto cycles ending too soon or running too long, clothes remaining damp, or the dryer staying on "Sensing" while timed cycles still work

• 1 moisture sensor

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas before servicing
• Access the sensor at the front bulkhead/lint housing area; remove front panel as needed per model
• Transfer connectors and route wiring exactly as original; secure the sensor firmly
• Clean the sensor contact surfaces with rubbing alcohol; residue from dryer sheets or fabric softeners can affect readings

This cycling thermostat regulates on/off heat cycles to maintain consistent operating temperature. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper temperature control and helps protect the appliance from overheating or underheating during normal operation.

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes contacts to control the heating circuit
• Helps prevent overheating; supports stable, repeatable heat cycling
• Common failure symptoms include no heat, overheating/shutting off too soon, or longer-than-normal run times
• Electrical component—failure may be intermittent before complete loss of function

• Disconnect power (and gas supply, if applicable) before service
• Note wire locations; transfer connectors one at a time to the new thermostat
• Mount firmly against the mating surface for accurate temperature sensing
• After installation, verify proper operation and temperature cycling

This dryer control thermostat regulates internal temperature by cycling the heater on and off. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper, consistent drying temperatures to protect fabrics and improve overall drying performance.

• Monitors exhaust temperature and opens/closes contacts to maintain target heat
• Helps prevent underheating and overheating during drying cycles
• Common symptoms of failure: no heat or low heat, long dry times, runs too hot, inconsistent temperatures
• A sticking thermostat may cause the high-limit safety to trip

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access location varies by model; typically mounted on the blower or heater housing
• Move wires one at a time from the old thermostat to the new one; ensure tight, secure connections
• After replacement, clean the lint path and verify exterior venting for proper airflow

• Clothes or interior drum become excessively hot
• Burning smells are detected from the dryer vent
• The dryer cuts out unexpectedly mid-cycle

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
