Maytag Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

This sensor monitors humidity inside the microwave cavity so sensor-cook and reheat features can automatically adjust time and power. Replacing a failing sensor restores accurate automatic cooking and helps prevent premature shutdowns or "Sensor" error messages.

• Detects steam/humidity in the cavity during sensor-based cooking cycles
• Sends feedback to the control to optimize cook time and power levels
• Failure can cause "Sensor" errors, sensor-cook cycles that won't start or end early
• Manual timed cooking may still work while sensor-cook modes misbehave

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge
• Access is typically behind the top grille/control area; note sensor orientation before removal
• Handle the sensor by its body; avoid contaminating the sensing face
• Route wiring as original and ensure the connector is fully seated before reassembly

This temperature-control thermistor (temperature sensor) feeds accurate temperature data to the control so your appliance can cycle components correctly and, where applicable, manage defrost. Replacing a faulty sensor restores stable operation and consistent performance. What it does:
