Maytag Fuse Or Sensor

This thermostat monitors temperature and opens or closes its electrical contacts to control and protect the appliance's heating circuit. Replacing a failed thermostat restores stable temperatures and helps prevent nuisance shutdowns or persistent no-heat issues. What it does:

• Senses temperature at its mounting location and switches the circuit on/off as designed
• Protects the heating system by interrupting power when temperatures exceed its rated limit
• Helps maintain consistent operation when the original thermostat is stuck open/closed or out of calibration
• Typical symptoms: no heat or intermittent heat, overheating/safety shutdowns, or failed continuity when tested cool

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas supply if applicable) before servicing
• Note wire locations and transfer one at a time to the new thermostat
• Mount securely in the original position to ensure proper temperature sensing
• After installation, run a test cycle and monitor operation/temperature

This cycling thermostat regulates your dryer's internal air temperature by switching the heat source on and off, helping prevent overheating and keeping drying performance consistent. Replace it if temperatures are erratic, items run too hot, or dry times increase. What it does:

• Monitors drum air temperature and opens/closes to control the heater
• Maintains stable temperatures across fabric/temperature settings
• Failure symptoms include no or low heat, overheating/scorch smells, long dry times, or inconsistent cycling
• Helps protect against damage from excessive heat when functioning correctly

• 1 cycling thermostat

• Disconnect power; if it's a gas dryer, also shut off the gas supply
• Allow the unit to cool; access the thermostat (typically on an internal air duct or blower housing); note wire positions
• Transfer wires to the new thermostat one at a time; mount flush against the metal surface; do not overtighten
• After installation, clean lint passages and ensure proper airflow and temperature control

This thermal limiter (89°C) is a one-time, temperature-sensitive safety device that opens the circuit if internal temperatures rise too high. Replacing a failed limiter helps protect the appliance from overheating and can restore normal operation. What it does:

• Monitors temperature in the airflow/heating path and opens around 89°C to interrupt power when overheating occurs
• Helps protect wiring, controls, and heater components from thermal damage
• A blown/open limiter can cause: appliance won't start, no heat, or stops mid-cycle
• Often indicates an underlying overheating issue that should be corrected

• 1 thermal limiter

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) and allow the unit to cool before servicing
• Access the limiter per the service information; note wire positions and transfer leads one at a time
• Replace only with the correct rated limiter; never bypass this safety device
• After installation, clear airflow restrictions and verify proper venting and heater/thermostat operation

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 line fuse protects the appliance's incoming power circuit by opening if an overload or short occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the underlying issue is corrected, preventing further damage to sensitive components.

• Interrupts line voltage when excessive current or a short circuit is detected
• Typical symptoms: unit completely dead, no display or interior lights, won't start or run
• Fuse tests open/no continuity with a multimeter when blown
• A blown fuse often points to another fault that must be addressed

• Disconnect power at the breaker/unplug before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage parts that can retain a dangerous charge even when unplugged
• Replace only with the same type and rating as the original fuse
• Ensure the fuse seats firmly in its holders; do not bypass or jumper a fuse

The Electrode is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is responsible for detecting the moisture levels in your laundry during the drying cycle, allowing the dryer to automatically adjust the drying time and temperature. It helps prevent over-drying or under-drying of your clothes, saving energy and protecting them from potential damage.

A bad electrode can occur due to wear and tear, damage, or a buildup of debris or lint. If you notice symptoms such as clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer shutting off prematurely, or inconsistent drying results, it may be time to replace the moisture sensor bar electrode.

Symptoms of a bad electrode include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry than usual
• The dryer shutting off prematurely
• Inconsistent drying results, with some items remaining damp

Repair your dryer by replacing the faulty or damaged electrode with this genuine OEM part.

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