Description

This bimetal limit thermostat is a safety temperature cutoff that stops heat when an oven or range overheats, helping protect the appliance and prevent further damage. It replaces a failed thermal cutoff that won't reset or maintain safe temperatures. What it does:

• Opens the circuit to the oven heating system when internal temperature exceeds safe limits
• Helps prevent overheating and reduces risk of heat-related component failure
• Common symptom: oven heats inconsistently or will not come up to temperature
• Common symptom: oven elements or burners remain off after an overheat event

What's included: One limit thermostat. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Access typically requires removing the oven back panel or control housing; follow OEM service instructions.
• Replace only with the exact part number; do not attempt to modify or bend the thermostat.
