Maytag Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

A replacement cycling thermostat that helps regulate dryer temperature and prevent overheating by cycling the heater on and off as needed. Restores temperature control for safer, more consistent drying. What it does

• Opens and closes to cycle the heating element, maintaining proper operating temperature.
• Helps prevent excessive heat build-up that can cause clothes damage or dryer shutdowns.
• Common fix for dryers that run too hot, have uneven drying, or won't maintain heat.
• Works with the dryer's existing temperature control system to stabilize cycles.

• One cycling thermostat

• Disconnect power before accessing or replacing the thermostat to avoid shock.
• This part mounts inside the dryer cabinet near the heating assembly.
• Handle the thermostat carefully and reconnect wires to the correct terminals.
• Test the dryer on a short cycle after install and monitor temperature; if symptoms persist, check other heating components.

A high limit thermostat that stops heat when a dryer's temperature gets too hot, helping protect the heating system and cabinet from overheating. It's a direct-replacement thermostat used in many gas and electric dryer heater assemblies. What it does:

• Opens the heating circuit if temperatures exceed safe limits to prevent overheating.
• Helps protect the heating element, housing, and internal components from heat damage.
• A failed thermostat can cause no heat or intermittent heating in the dryer.
• Works with the dryer's safety controls to maintain normal operating temperature.

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing; allow unit to cool completely.
• Located on or near the heater box or blower housing; follow your model's service manual for access.
• Replace with the exact part number to maintain original safety settings.

High limit thermostat, Canadian models only.

This high-limit thermostat is a safety temperature limiter that helps prevent overheating in electric dryers by cutting power to the heating circuit if temperatures get too high. It's a direct-replacement style part used where the dryer needs a reliable over-temp cutoff. What it does:

• Monitors dryer heater temperature and opens the circuit if the unit overheats
• Stops the heating element from running when unsafe temperatures are detected
• Helps protect internal components and reduce fire risk from sustained over-temp conditions
• Can be a factor when the dryer won't heat or the heater cycles off prematurely

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Located on or near the heater assembly; access usually requires removing the dryer cabinet or rear panel
• Handle terminals and wiring carefully; note connector positions before removal
• Test continuity with a multimeter to confirm failure before replacing

This cycle thermostat regulates temperature during appliance heating cycles to help maintain safe, consistent operation and proper cycle performance. It replaces a worn or failed thermostat to restore correct temperature control. What it does:

• Senses and opens/closes at set temperatures to control heating during cycles
• Prevents continuous heating when the thermostat reaches its limit
• Can cause no-heat, overheating, or short cycling when faulty
• Works with the appliance's control system to maintain cycle timing and safety

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the thermostat
• Handle thermostat and terminals carefully; avoid bending sensing elements

This electronic thermostat controls oven temperature to help maintain consistent cooking heat and restore proper temperature regulation. Replacing a faulty thermostat can stop temperature swings and help your range reach and hold set temps. What it does:

• Senses oven temperature and signals the control to cycle heating elements on and off
• Helps maintain steady cooking temperatures for even baking and roasting
• Commonly replaces units that cause the oven to run too hot, too cool, or cycle erratically
• Works with the oven control system to improve temperature accuracy

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to prevent shock
• Handle the temperature sensor and thermostat terminals carefully to avoid damage
• Verify thermostat mounting and probe position match the original for accurate readings

The Moisture Sensor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. The sensor monitors moisture levels to determine when the appropriate moisture point has been reached, signaling the appliance to advance to the next step in the cycle.

Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor include: 

• Inability to advance through entire wash cycle  
• Immediate ending of cycle after short period of time
• Sensor may show moisture levels incorrectly
• LED lights indicating error codes related to moisture detection

Causes of a bad moisture sensor can be due to cracks, corrosion, or damage to its sensitive electronic components from impact or overuse. Regular cleaning and maintenance helps extend the life of the moisture sensor. 

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

The thermal cutoff is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This thermal cutoff plays an important safety role by automatically shutting off power to the dryer's heating element in the event of excessive temperatures.

The thermal cutoff is responsible for monitoring air temperatures inside the dryer drum and air ducts. As temperatures rise past safe levels, the thermal cutoff triggers, cutting power to prevent damage and possible fire hazards.

Causes of a bad thermal cutoff can include overheating from issues such as a clogged or blocked vent hose, venting into an unvented space, an accumulation of lint, or a failing vent switch.

Symptoms of a bad thermal cutoff include:

• The dryer not heating up or heating unevenly
• Repeatedly tripping the circuit breaker during operation
• Scorching or burning odors detected from the dryer drum or vent

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

This electric thermostat regulates temperature by opening or closing an electrical circuit at 155°F, helping the appliance maintain safe operating temperatures and consistent performance. What it does:

• Monitors internal temperature and interrupts power when 155°F is reached
• Restores the circuit once temperature falls below the set point
• Helps prevent overheating and protects heating components
• Commonly replaced when the appliance fails to heat, overheats, or cycles improperly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Replace with the exact part number and orientation specified by the manufacturer
• Verify wiring and secure terminal connections; test continuity before reassembly

This high-limit thermostat helps stop overheating by opening the heater circuit at preset temperatures, protecting the appliance and improving safety. Replace a failed thermostat to restore proper over-temperature shutoff. What it does:

• Opens the heating circuit at its rated temperature to prevent excessive heat buildup
• Stops the heater from running if the appliance overheats
• Common symptoms: appliance overheating, no heating or intermittent heating, or heat cycling off unexpectedly
• Used as a safety cutoff in the appliance's heating system

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the thermostat
• Handle terminals carefully and note wiring locations for correct reassembly
• Verify operation only after proper installation and restoring power

This cycling thermostat (140°F) regulates dryer temperature by opening and closing to control heat cycles, helping maintain consistent drying and prevent overheating. Designed as a direct replacement for the original temperature control component. What it does:

• Opens at the specified temperature to interrupt the heating circuit and cycles the heater on/off
• Helps maintain consistent drum temperature for reliable drying performance
• Can prevent continuous heating that can cause overheating
• Common symptom: dryer heats erratically, runs but doesn't reach proper temperature, or overheats

• Disconnect power to the dryer before inspecting or replacing the thermostat
• Locate the thermostat on the heater assembly/blower housing per your model's service guide
• Replace with the same temperature-rating thermostat and secure all wiring connections
• Test the thermostat for continuity with a multimeter
