This thermal fuse is a one-time safety cutoff that stops heat when temperatures rise above safe limits, protecting the appliance from overheating. Replace a blown fuse to restore proper thermal protection and heating control. What it does:
- Opens the circuit to the heating element when overheating is detected to prevent unsafe temperatures.
- Common symptom: dryer runs but produces little or no heat.
- Can cause dryers to stop heating even though the motor and controls seem to work.
- Helps prevent thermal damage or fire by cutting power to the heater when needed.
What's included: One thermal fuse. Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the heating assembly.
- Replace with the exact OEM part; match terminals and mounting location.

Kitchenaid induction cooktop burners out on right side. Suzanne K. • Orlando , FL • June 02, 2020
Local appliance repair outfits wanted an extortionate amount of money to do this repair.
So, after checking on topic threads online to diagnose the problem, we disassembled the cooktop and extracted the bad parts. We then did an online search for those parts. APPLIANCEPARTSPROS.com had exactly what we needed and although one item was on backorder, we received everything in a timely manner.
The cooktop works perfectly now and we saved a bundle!
APPLIANCEPARTSPROS.com is worth it's weight...
