Maytag Wall Oven Fuse Or Sensor

This 20-amp circuit breaker restores overcurrent protection to the appliance's electrical circuit, helping prevent damage from short circuits or overloads. It replaces a worn or tripped breaker so the appliance can receive proper power. What it does:

• Acts as an overcurrent safety device that trips when current exceeds safe limits
• Protects wiring and components from damage caused by overloads or short circuits
• Common symptom: appliance won't power on or stops powering intermittently
• Common symptom: breaker repeatedly trips during normal operation

• Disconnect power at the house breaker before inspecting or replacing the part
• Handle terminals carefully; ensure connectors are fully seated and tight
• Replace with the exact part number for fit and proper electrical rating

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 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 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
