Microwave Fuse Or Sensor

This thermostat is the temperature control that regulates oven heat for consistent cooking results. It replaces a failed control to restore correct temperature cycling and help your range maintain set oven temperatures. What it does:

• Senses oven temperature and opens/closes the control circuit to maintain the set temperature
• Helps prevent ovens from running too hot or too cool
• Commonly replaced when oven fails to reach or hold set temperatures or cycles unusually
• Works with the oven's control system to restore normal heating cycles

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically through the oven control or rear access panel; expect basic wiring and mounting steps
• Verify correct wire connections and secure mounting; test oven operation at low settings first

This replacement thermal cutoff fuse helps protect ovens and ranges by opening the circuit if temperatures rise too high, preventing overheating and potential damage. Install to restore safe temperature protection and normal heating operation. What it does:

• Interrupts power when internal temperatures exceed safe limits to prevent overheating
• Stops heat element operation when the cutoff is open
• Common symptom: oven or bake element will not heat
• Can cause intermittent heating or failure of specific heating functions

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool completely before touching internal components
• Handle fuse terminals carefully; replace with the exact part number to maintain safety features

This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch that monitors heat and helps protect the appliance from overheating. It opens or closes the circuit at a set temperature to maintain safe, reliable operation.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting location and switches the circuit when the threshold is reached
• Helps prevent overheating by interrupting power until conditions return to normal
• Failure can present as no heat, the unit shutting off during use, or loss of power until cooled
• Restores proper over-temperature protection when replaced with the correct matching part

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Note wire positions and transfer any brackets or insulation from the original part to the new one
• After installation, verify secure connections and correct mounting before testing
