General Electric Wall Oven 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. 

The Hi-Limit Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. It is a safety component responsible for monitoring internal oven temperatures. The hi-limit switch helps prevent overheating by detecting when excessive heat has built up inside the oven cavity. It will automatically cut power to the bake/broil elements if temperatures rise too high.

Causes of a bad hi limit switch can include normal failure after years of exposure to heat, or issues with the electronic components or calibration.

Symptoms of a bad hi-limit switch include:

• The oven failing to heat up or bake/broil food properly
• Frequent thermal cut outs requiring the oven to be unplugged
• Delays in the oven reaching the set temperature
• Oven will not turn on

This is a genuine OEM part that works for some models of GE, and Hotpoint models.

This bimetal limit switch monitors a radiant surface element's temperature and opens the circuit if it overheats, helping your cooktop maintain safe, consistent heating while protecting wiring and controls from damage. What it does:

• Senses surface element temperature via a bimetal sensor
• Opens/closes the circuit to limit element temperature and prevent overheating
• Helps the burner cycle properly for more consistent heat
• Common symptoms: no heat, low heat/cycles off too soon, overheating, or erratic cycling

• One bimetal limit switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the element, note wire positions, and transfer leads to the new switch one at a time
• Mount firmly to the element/bracket so the sensor has correct contact
• Do not bend or adjust the sensor; replace if damaged

This 250V 15A safety fuse protects the appliance's line circuit from overcurrent. When the original fuse has blown, replacing it can restore power and help safeguard internal components from further damage.

• Opens the circuit if excessive current or a short occurs, protecting internal parts
• Common symptom: unit completely dead—no display, lights, or response to controls
• Blown fuse will test open (no continuity) with a multimeter
• If a new fuse blows again, another component may be shorted and needs diagnosis

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; microwaves can retain a dangerous charge—discharge the high-voltage capacitor
• Access the fuse near the line filter/control area; note clip orientation
• Replace only with the same 250V 15A rating; never bypass or upsize the fuse
• If the replacement fuse blows immediately, stop and troubleshoot the root cause

This limit switch is a snap-action safety/position switch used in many cooking appliances. It opens or closes an electrical circuit when a mechanism reaches its limit, enabling safe operation and helping protect components when conditions aren't met.

• Provides snap-action switching to confirm a mechanical limit or interlock within the appliance
• Changes state to allow or interrupt power when the limit is reached
• Common failure symptoms: self-clean won't start or complete, oven won't heat/start, or door lock-related error codes
• May fail a continuity test or lose its distinct "click" when actuated

• Disconnect power before service; allow appliance to cool completely
• Access and mounting vary by model—take photos and transfer wires one at a time
• Mount in the same orientation; ensure the actuator/lever aligns with the mechanism and is not bent
• After installation, verify switch operation with a continuity test while actuating the mechanism

This limit switch is a safety control for compatible cooking appliances. It opens or closes an electrical circuit when a preset limit is reached—commonly temperature or travel—helping protect components and ensure proper operation of heating and latch systems.

• Monitors a specific limit at its mounting point (temperature or mechanism travel, depending on model)
• Opens/closes the circuit to interrupt or allow power to related components
• A failed switch can prevent heating, stop self-clean from starting, or keep the door from locking/unlocking
• Helps protect wiring and controls from damage during abnormal conditions

• Disconnect power to the appliance and allow all components to cool before servicing
• Access location varies by model; take photos and label wires before removal
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch; secure with existing hardware
• If the old switch tripped due to overheating or binding, inspect fans, vents, and latch/linkages to correct the root cause

This limit switch interrupts power to a heating circuit when an over-temperature or unsafe condition is detected, helping prevent damage and unsafe operation. It's a direct-replacement safety control for affected appliances. What it does:

• Opens the circuit to stop heating when a temperature limit or fault condition is reached.
• Prevents overheating that can cause component damage or unsafe operation.
• Can cause no-heat, intermittent heating, or cycling behavior when failed.
• Works as a safety shutoff in heating systems and related control circuits.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing or replacing the switch.
• Access usually requires removing a panel or control housing; keep track of fasteners and wire locations.
• Handle terminals carefully and reconnect exactly as found; confirm secure wire connections.

Replacement thermostat that senses and controls the appliance heating system to restore accurate heating and stable temperature cycles, helping the appliance reach and maintain the set temperature. What it does:
