General Electric Range Fuse Or Sensor

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for GE ranges. This component is a safety device to protect the range from overheating. It is located in the electrical circuit and acts as a fail-safe to cut off the power supply to the range if it detects excessive heat.

Causes of a faulty thermal fuse can include power surges, overheating due to prolonged use, or other electrical issues. When the fuse blows, it interrupts the electrical flow, preventing potential damage to the range's sensitive components and ensuring user safety.

Symptoms of a bad fuse may include:

• The range not turning on or functioning at all.
• The oven not heating up or not reaching the desired temperature.
• The range displaying error codes related to temperature issues.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
