Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This safety device monitors and protects heating elements inside the dryer. If temperatures rise too high due to a blockage or other issue, the fuse automatically opens the electrical circuit to cease further heating. 

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• Dryer failing to heat or stay warm during cycles
• Fluctuating or inconsistent heat levels  
• Tripped circuit breakers after drying

Causes of failure involve wear or damage from years of high heat exposure. Over time, components become brittle and less responsive.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with some Kenmore, Admiral, Roper, and Estate dryer models. 

The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This safety device monitors internal dryer temperatures. The high-limit thermostat automatically interrupts power if excessive heat builds up inside the dryer drum and ventilation area. 

Causes of a bad high-limit thermostat typically include wear over many heat cycles. Without this critical safeguard functioning reliably, overheating dangers increase.

Symptoms of a bad high-limit thermostat include:

• Dryer failing to heat or stop heating unexpectedly
• Repeated blowing of fuses or breaker trips  
• Smoky odors emitted from the dryer vent

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with some Maytag, Roper, and select Kenmore dryer models as well. 

The Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dryers. It plays a crucial role in monitoring and regulating the temperature inside the tumbler.

This replacement part is a high-limit thermostat, and it is intended for use in different types of appliances. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. This high-limit thermostat is typically found in dryers and controls the heat inside the drying tub. This is especially important as different dryer settings require different amounts of heat. If the high limit thermostat works properly, the temperature inside the tub should reach the correct amount during each drying cycle with no issues. A new high-limit thermostat might be needed if the user notices that the dryer is unable to reach the appropriate level of heat for a certain drying cycle. This is also true if the dryer is becoming too hot when the heat is supposed to be set to low. Make sure the dryer is cooled down prior to replacing this part as the areas in the back of the dryer can become very hot during use. Be sure to reference the specific user manual for more instructions on how to replace the thermostat. This thermostat is sold individually and is a genuine OEM part. The thermostat is sourced directly from the manufacturer.
