Microwave Fuse Or Sensor

This thermostat cavity is the molded housing that secures and protects the refrigerator thermostat and its sensing components, helping maintain correct sensor placement for reliable temperature control. Replaces a worn or cracked thermostat mount. What it does:

• Holds the thermostat and sensor in the correct position for accurate temperature sensing
• Protects thermostat and wiring from moisture, debris, and physical damage
• Keeps electrical connections and routing organized to prevent loose or pinched wires
• Can restore proper thermostat seating that may cause intermittent cooling or temperature control issues

• One thermostat cavity

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Basic hand tools required; handle edges carefully to avoid cuts
• Retain and reinstall existing thermostat and sensor unless replacing them separately

This thermal fuse is a high-limit safety device that cuts power if a dryer overheats, protecting the appliance and home. Replace a blown fuse to restore proper safety operation when an open fuse prevents the dryer from heating or running. What it does:

• Opens the circuit when temperatures exceed safe limits to prevent overheating
• Stops power to the heating system (and in some designs the motor) when failed
• Common symptom: dryer runs but does not produce heat or stops mid-cycle
• Intended as a one-time safety cutoff — a blown fuse indicates an underlying issue

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the fuse
• Only replace if the fuse is confirmed open with a multimeter and after addressing venting/airflow or thermostat faults
• Install the fuse in the original location and secure all terminals; do not bypass or defeat safety devices
