Kenmore / Sears Range Hood Fuse Or Sensor

This thermal cutoff fuse interrupts power if internal temperatures exceed safe limits, protecting motors and heating elements. Replacing a failed fuse can restore normal power to the appliance when overheating has caused shutdowns or no-start conditions. What it does:

• Acts as a temperature-sensitive safety device that opens the circuit when excessive heat is detected
• Prevents continued operation of overheating components to reduce fire and damage risk
• Common symptom of failure: appliance or fan won't start or runs intermittently
• Used where overheating protection is required for motors, blowers, or heating elements

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the fuse
• Verify the OEM part number and orientation before installing; replace only with the same type
• Do not bypass or defeat the fuse

This is an electrical wire lead used to restore or replace a damaged connection in the appliance. It provides a direct conductive path so motors, lights, or controls can receive power and signals reliably. What it does:

• Reconnects power or signal between components when the original wire is damaged or broken
• Restores functionality for motors, fans, lights, or switches that are losing power due to a faulty lead
• Prevents intermittent operation caused by frayed, corroded, or cut wiring
• Helps maintain safe electrical continuity when properly installed and secured

• One wire lead

• Disconnect mains power before inspecting or replacing wiring to avoid shock or injury
• Match wire color, connector type, and routing to the original; use proper crimps/terminals or solder and insulated sleeving
• Secure wire away from moving parts and heat sources; replace any damaged insulation or clips
