Description

A single-replacement thermal fuse that stops the dryer's heating circuit if internal temperatures get too high, protecting the appliance from overheating and preventing fire risk. Fits common electric and gas dryer assemblies. What it does:

• Cuts power to the heating element or burner when excessive heat is detected to prevent overheating.
• Commonly causes a dryer to stop producing heat when the fuse has failed.
• Helps protect other dryer components from heat damage by acting as a one-time safety cutoff.
• Works as part of the dryer's safety/thermal control system; it must be replaced if blown.

What's included:

• One thermal fuse

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before accessing or replacing the fuse.
• Typically mounted on the blower housing or near the heating element; replace with the exact part number.
• Do not bypass or defeat this safety device; use proper splicing or connectors and restore all wiring as original.
• If the fuse blew, inspect and clear system airflow (lint build-up, venting) before testing the dryer to prevent repeat failure.
