Fuse Or Sensor

Microwave won't power on or display anything? A failed thermostat is often the cause. This part regulates temperature to prevent overheating. DIY fix.

This thermistor is a temperature-sensing component mounted near the magnetron in the microwave. It monitors the magnetron's temperature and signals the control board to shut off the magnetron if it overheats. Replace this part if the microwave stops heating intermittently, shuts off unexpectedly during use, or displays an error code related to overheating.

This is an electronic thermostat rated at 155°F that monitors and regulates the air temperature inside the dryer drum. It signals the control board to cycle the heating element on and off to maintain proper drying temperatures. Replace this thermostat if your dryer is overheating, not heating at all, or shutting off prematurely during a cycle.

The Moisture Sensor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. The sensor monitors moisture levels to determine when the appropriate moisture point has been reached, signaling the appliance to advance to the next step in the cycle.

Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor include: 

• Inability to advance through entire wash cycle  
• Immediate ending of cycle after short period of time
• Sensor may show moisture levels incorrectly
• LED lights indicating error codes related to moisture detection

Causes of a bad moisture sensor can be due to cracks, corrosion, or damage to its sensitive electronic components from impact or overuse. Regular cleaning and maintenance helps extend the life of the moisture sensor. 

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

Oven overheating or won't heat properly? This safety thermostat monitors backguard temperature to prevent overheating. Simple DIY fix restores safe operation.

This thermostat monitors the temperature of the magnetron in the microwave and shuts off power if overheating is detected. It is mounted directly on or near the magnetron tube. Replace this thermostat if the microwave shuts off unexpectedly during use, fails to heat food, or if continuity testing shows the thermostat is open.
