Jenn-Air Dishwasher Fuse Or Sensor

Thermostat has 1/4 inch terminals.

The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This safety feature is designed to prevent the dishwasher from overheating by shutting off the power if the internal temperature exceeds a certain limit. It acts as a safeguard against potential hazards, such as fires, and ensures the dishwasher operates within safe temperature ranges. 

Over time, the high limit thermostat can become defective due to normal wear or electrical issues within the dishwasher. A malfunctioning thermostat may not accurately respond to temperature changes, which can lead to overheating or the dishwasher not reaching the necessary temperature for optimal cleaning.

Symptoms of a bad High Limit Thermostat include:

• Dishwasher not starting or completing a cycle
• The dishwasher stops heating water, affecting cleaning performance
• Overheating, which could potentially damage dishes or the dishwasher itself

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Turbidity Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It detects the level of particles in the water during the wash cycle, allowing the dishwasher to adjust the cycle duration and water usage for optimal cleaning performance. This sensor ensures that dishes are thoroughly cleaned by monitoring water clarity.

You should replace the turbidity sensor if it becomes faulty or damaged. Causes of a bad turbidity sensor can include regular wear and tear, exposure to hard water minerals, or electrical malfunctions. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to inefficient cleaning cycles and poor wash results.

Symptoms of a bad turbidity sensor include:

• Dishes not being cleaned properly
• Dishwasher running longer than usual or shorter cycles
• Error codes related to the sensor
• Inconsistent wash performance

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

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 inline fuse is a replaceable safety device that protects your appliance's wiring and components from overcurrent. It restores circuit protection so the appliance can operate safely after a blown fuse is replaced. What it does:

• Protects the wiring harness and electrical components by interrupting power if a short or overload occurs
• Commonly used where a single-point fuse is needed inline with a circuit
• Resolves symptoms like a non-starting unit, intermittent power loss, or a tripped circuit when caused by a blown fuse
• Works as part of the appliance's electrical protection system when installed in the proper harness location

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the fuse
• Visually check the blown fuse or use a multimeter before replacing
• Install only in the correct harness location and ensure secure wire connections
• If the replacement fuse blows immediately, stop and diagnose the underlying short or fault
