• Opens the heating circuit when internal temperature exceeds the safe limit to prevent overheating
• Commonly replaces a failed or intermittently opening thermal limit control
• Helps stop burners or heating elements from running unchecked when a thermostat fails
• Addresses symptoms like no heat, intermittent heating, or safety trip shutdowns

• Disconnect power before accessing heating components and wiring
• Verify the part matches the appliance diagram and wiring orientation before installation
• If corrosion or other damage is present on connectors or terminals, replace or repair per OEM guidance

This temperature sensor monitors refrigerator temperature and sends readings to the control board so the appliance can regulate cooling. Replacing a failing sensor restores accurate temperature feedback for reliable cooling performance. What it does

• Measures internal temperature and reports it to the refrigerator control board
• Helps the system cycle the compressor and fans correctly for stable temperatures
• Commonly linked to symptoms like poor cooling, frequent compressor run, or temperature-related error codes
• Works as the sensing element for automatic defrost and temperature-control routines

• One temperature sensor (thermistor) with attached lead

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; secure the lead per factory routing to avoid contact with moving parts
• May require basic hand tools and access to the evaporator/thermostat area

This 15 amp, 250 volt replacement fuse protects your appliance's electrical circuits by interrupting power when a fault or overload occurs. It restores safe operation once the underlying issue is fixed and the fuse is replaced. What it does:

• Acts as an overcurrent protection device for circuits rated up to 15 A and 250 V
• Prevents damage to wiring and components by opening the circuit during an overload or short
• Common symptom: appliance has no power or specific functions stop working after a sudden failure
• Replacing a blown fuse can resolve intermittent power loss or complete power failure tied to a single blown element

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the fuse
• Replace only with a fuse of the same amperage and voltage rating to maintain safety and proper protection
• Use insulated tools and avoid touching live terminals; internal access may require disassembly, follow OEM service instructions
• If fuses blow repeatedly, stop using the appliance.

This temperature sensor monitors oven cavity temperature and sends readings to the range control so your oven can regulate bake and broil cycles more accurately. Replaces a failing sensor to restore reliable temperature sensing. What it does:

• Detects oven cavity temperature and reports it to the control board
• Helps the range maintain set cooking temperatures during bake/broil cycles
• Common symptom: oven runs too hot, too cold, or cooks unevenly
• Can cause temperature-related error codes or prevent proper preheating

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the sensor and its wiring harness carefully to avoid damage
• Install the sensor in the original location and orientation for proper readings

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

Primary limit switch that interrupts the heating circuit when temperatures exceed safe limits to prevent overheating. Replacing this switch restores the appliance's temperature safety control and helps return normal heating behavior. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and breaks power to the heating element when the preset limit is reached.
• Acts as a safety cutoff to help prevent overheating and related damage.
• A failed-open switch commonly causes no heat or intermittent heating.
• A failed-closed switch can allow excessive heat or repeated thermal trips.

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Note terminal locations and wiring before removal; reconnect each wire to its original terminal.
• Handle the part and terminals carefully to avoid damage; secure fasteners firmly but do not overtighten.

This high-limit thermostat (hi-limit switch) is a temperature safety device that stops the heating circuit if the appliance overheats, helping protect the unit and restore proper heat control when replaced. What it does:

• Opens the heating circuit if internal temperature exceeds safe limits to prevent overheating.
• Controls whether the heater/element receives power based on temperature.
• When faulty, common symptoms include no heat or intermittent heating and repeated thermal cutouts.
• Can be tested for continuity to confirm electrical function.

• One high-limit thermostat (hi-limit switch).

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing; risk of shock or injury if energized.
• Note and label wire locations or take a photo before removal for correct reassembly.
• Verify part compatibility with your model before installing; confirm continuity after installation.

This thermostat is the temperature control switch that helps regulate your appliance's internal temperature for proper operation and food safety. It replaces a failed or faulty control to restore consistent cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses interior temperature and cycles the compressor or heating element to maintain set temperature
• Stops cooling or heating when the thermostat fails open, or causes overcooling when it fails closed
• Commonly replaced for inconsistent temperatures or an appliance that runs constantly
• Works as the user-controlled temperature regulator in the appliance's control system

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to reduce shock risk
• Handle mounting hardware and wiring carefully; note wire locations before removal
• Test operation after install by setting temperature and confirming normal cycling

This temperature limiter switch stops heat buildup by opening the circuit when temperature exceeds safe limits. It restores proper thermal protection for the appliance's heating system and helps prevent overheating-related damage. What it does:

• Opens the heating circuit if internal temperature rises above the thermostat's limit to prevent overheating.
• Commonly used as a safety cutoff for dryers, ovens or other appliance heating systems.
• Symptoms of a failing limiter: no heat, intermittent heating, or an appliance that won't start its heating cycle.
• Works with the appliance's control and heating elements to maintain safe operating temperatures.

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing this part to avoid shock or injury.
• Replace with the exact part number to maintain proper temperature protection.
• If the limiter has tripped, inspect heating element, venting and related components for root causes before reassembly.
