Parts for Kitchenaid KICU509XBL00: 02 - Interior Parts

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.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the heating assembly.
• Replace with the exact OEM part; match terminals and mounting location.

This wire harness assembly routes power and signals between major components to restore electrical connection and reliable operation. It replaces a damaged or frayed harness to help eliminate intermittent power, no-starts, or lost control functions. What it does:

• Connects power and control circuits between the main control and other components
• Restores reliable electrical continuity when wiring is damaged, burned, or corroded
• Helps resolve symptoms such as intermittent operation, appliances that won't start, or components that receive no power
• Prevents shorting or arcing caused by exposed or broken wires when properly installed

• Disconnect the appliance from power (unplug or turn off the circuit breaker) before beginning work
• Handle connectors gently; match keyed connectors when reassembling to avoid miswiring
• Inspect mating terminals and housings for damage; replace if terminals are burned or corroded

This multi-wire electrical harness routes power and signals between appliance components to restore reliable connectivity and control. Replacing a damaged harness helps stop intermittent operation and prevents wiring shorts or lost function. What it does:

• Carries power and control signals between components such as controls, motors, sensors, or switches
• Restores electrical continuity when original wiring is frayed, cut, or burned
• Helps stop intermittent operation, no-start conditions, or component failures caused by damaged wiring
• Prevents potential short circuits from exposed or chafed wires

• Disconnect power before starting — always follow lockout/tagout procedures
• Replace harness using routing and connector orientation
• Inspect mating connectors and terminals; do not use if corrosion or damage is present
• Securely fasten harness with existing clips/ties to avoid rubbing or heat exposure

A general-purpose appliance adhesive used to bond and seal interior and exterior components. Restores secure attachment of trim, insulation, and small panels so parts stay in place and function properly. What it does

• Bonds loose trim, gaskets, and small plastic or metal panels to prevent shifting and rattles
• Seals minor seams and gaps to improve fit and finish
• Helps reattach insulation or padding that has come unglued
• Reduces noise from vibrating parts by securing components

• Clean and dry surfaces thoroughly before applying for the best bond
• Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid skin or eye contact; follow product safety directions
• Apply sparingly and allow full cure time per manufacturer instructions before reassembling
