General Electric Range / Cooktop / Oven Fuse Or Sensor

This bimetal limit thermostat is a temperature-safety control that interrupts power when oven temperature rises above its design point, protecting the appliance and helping maintain safe operation. What it does:

• Acts as an over-temperature cutoff that opens when the internal sensor reaches its trip temperature
• Prevents continued heating during an overheat condition
• Can stop heating element operation or clock/regulator cycling when the limit is open
• Common symptom: oven or broil element stops coming on or oven heats uncontrollably before shutting down

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access typically requires removing the oven back panel or control housing; follow the service manual for your model
• Note and label wiring before removal to ensure correct reconnection

This limit switch is a safety cutoff that helps stop power to heating circuits when a fault or over-temperature condition occurs, protecting the appliance and reducing fire risk. It's a direct-fit replacement part designed to restore proper safety control. What it does

• Opens the circuit to shut off heating when the temperature climbs above safe limits
• Prevents continuous heating during thermostat or control failures
• Common symptom: oven or cooktop won't heat or keeps shutting off unexpectedly
• Common symptom: burner or element fails to stay on despite control inputs

• One limit switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Handle and route wires carefully; match wire connections exactly per the wiring diagram
• If mounting hardware or connectors are missing on your unit,

This bimetal limit thermostat is a safety cutoff that helps prevent ovens and ranges from overheating. It replaces a failed temperature limit control to restore proper high-temperature protection and safe operation. What it does:

• Acts as a high-limit cutoff to stop heat if the appliance exceeds safe temperatures
• Prevents excessive heating that can cause burnout or unsafe operation
• Can cause an oven or burner to stop heating or fail to reach temperature when it has failed
• Supports normal cycling of the appliance by sensing and responding to over-temperature conditions

• One bimetal limit thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing this part
• Replace with the exact part number shown on the old thermostat to ensure proper fit
• Handle with care; avoid bending the sensing element or terminals

A limit switch that stops power when temperatures exceed safe levels, preventing overheating and protecting the appliance and its controls. Installs at the heat source to help maintain safe operation and reliable performance. What it does:

• Acts as a temperature-activated safety cutoff to interrupt power when temps climb too high
• Can prevent continuous heating and protect control components from heat damage
• A failed switch may cause intermittent operation, no heat to the element, or a complete shutdown
• Works as a protective device in heating circuits and safety interlocks

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or burns
• Verify correct part placement and wire connections; note terminal locations before removal
• Test continuity with a multimeter to confirm failure before replacing
