General Electric Range Fuse Or Sensor

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

A replacement limit switch that helps prevent overheating by cutting power when temperature reaches a set point. Fits into the appliance's temperature control/safety system to keep operation safer and more reliable. What it does:

• Acts as a temperature-activated safety cutoff to stop heating when temperatures exceed safe limits
• Helps appliances recover from overheating by interrupting power to heating elements or circuits
• Can cause loss of heat, intermittent heating, or failure to reach temperature when faulty
• Commonly used in ranges/ovens to protect internal components and maintain safe operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle electrical connectors and terminals carefully; note wiring location before removal
• Minor disassembly of the appliance's control or access panel may be required for access
