Frigidaire Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

This control thermostat regulates the dryer's operating temperature. It senses exhaust air heat and cycles the heater on and off to maintain consistent drying performance and help protect the appliance from overheating. What it does:

• Monitors exhaust temperature and controls the heating element to hold the selected heat level
• Helps prevent overheating by cycling heat off when the target temperature is reached
• Supports even drying and consistent cycle times
• Typical failure symptoms: no heat or not enough heat, long dry times, runs too hot, inconsistent temperatures

• 1 control thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; if gas, also shut off the gas supply
• Access location varies by model; typically mounted on the heater housing or exhaust duct
• Transfer wire leads one at a time to the new thermostat and secure with the original screws
• After reassembly, clean the lint path and ensure good airflow to prevent repeat failures

The Limiter is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It protects the dryer from potential overheating. The limiter is designed to automatically cut power to the dryer's heating elements if temperatures become too high, preventing damage, fires, or other hazardous conditions.

Causes of a bad limiter can include general wear and tear over extended usage, exposure to excessive heat levels, or damage due to manual mishandling or accidental impact.

Symptoms of a bad limiter include:

• The dryer fails to turn off automatically at the end of cycles
• 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.

This safety thermostat is a temperature-limiting switch that helps protect your refrigerator/freezer by opening the circuit if temperatures reach an unsafe level, preventing damage to components and reducing fire risk. What it does:

• Monitors internal temperature and interrupts power when the preset limit is exceeded
• Prevents overheating of heating elements or compressors in defrost and refrigeration circuits
• Helps stop continuous run or cycling caused by thermal faults
• May be used as part of the fridge/freezer safety/limit control system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the thermostat
• Handle carefully and avoid kinking or crushing any sensing element or capillary tube
• Verify function and wiring location against your model's service manual or wiring diagram

This mechanical temperature control thermostat regulates refrigerator temperature to keep food cold and cycling the compressor as needed. Replaces a faulty control to restore proper cooling performance and temperature stability. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the compressor circuit to maintain set temperature.
• Stops the compressor when the refrigerator reaches the selected temperature and restarts it as needed.
• Commonly replaced when the fridge runs continuously, won't reach set temperature, or has erratic cooling cycles.
• May produce a clicking sound when switching or fail to make electrical contact, causing cooling loss.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access may require removing interior panels or control housing; keep track of fasteners and wire locations.
• Verify wiring and operation with a multimeter; replace only with the correct OEM part.
