Maytag Fuse Or Sensor

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 high-limit thermostat is a temperature safety switch that helps prevent overheating by opening the circuit when temperatures exceed safe limits. It restores normal operation once the temperature cools, protecting the appliance and reducing fire risk. What it does:

• Monitors internal temperature and opens the circuit if heat gets too high
• Prevents overheating that can cause damage or burn odors
• Commonly replaces a failed or intermittently tripping thermal safety switch
• Works as part of the appliance's temperature-safety system, not a primary temperature control

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting replacement
• Observe proper wiring orientation and secure terminal connections
• Replace only with the exact part specified for your appliance

This high-limit thermal fuse cuts power when temperatures exceed safe levels to protect heating circuits and prevent fires. Replace a failed fuse to restore proper thermal protection and help your appliance heat and run correctly. What it does:

• Opens the circuit if the heater area overheats to protect the appliance from thermal damage
• May resolve no-heat or intermittent-heat symptoms in dryers and other heated appliances
• Can stop an appliance from running if the thermal cutoff is blown
• Acts as a one-time safety device that must be replaced if it has opened

• Disconnect all power before accessing or replacing the part
• Verify the failed fuse with a continuity test; a blown fuse will show no continuity
• Replace with the exact part number to ensure correct temperature rating and fit
• If the thermal fuse has blown, inspect and repair the underlying cause (venting, air flow, or heating element) before return to service

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.

This fixed thermostat senses temperature and opens or closes the electrical circuit to control heating. It replaces a failed temperature-sensing switch to restore proper heating control and safety. What it does:

• Monitors appliance temperature and interrupts power when the set limit is reached
• Prevents overheating by opening the circuit at high temperatures
• Restores normal heating control when a failed thermostat causes no heat or continuous heating
• Works as a safety/limit device in the appliance's heating system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the thermostat and sensing element gently; avoid bending or stressing terminals
• Refer to the appliance service manual or OEM instructions for proper placement and mounting

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
