Description

This thermal cut-off installs in the bottom location and protects the appliance by interrupting power when excessive heat is detected. It helps prevent overheating-related damage to internal components.

• Monitors temperature at the bottom of the unit and opens the circuit if an over-temperature condition occurs
• Common symptoms include no power, shutting off during use, or not starting after an overheating event
• The TCO tests open (no continuity), it must be replaced

What's included: One thermal cut-off for the bottom position. Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that must be safely discharged
• Note wire positions and mounting orientation; transfer any reusable bracket/insulator and make secure, insulated connections
• After reassembly, ensure airflow and vents are unobstructed to prevent repeat overheating
