The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is a critical safety component that prevents the dryer from overheating by cutting off power to the heating element if the temperature exceeds safe levels. This ensures that the appliance operates safely and efficiently.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include restricted airflow due to clogged vents or lint buildup, electrical malfunctions, or overheating from heavy usage.

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

  • Dryer not heating
  • Dryer not starting
  • Dryer stopping mid-cycle
  • No power to the dryer

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

For Whirlpool Thermal Fuse (Part Number: OEM18023829)

Hello Rich. It sounds like the coils 279834 may be breaking down and causing the dryer not to relite. If everything else is good and the flame lites, but goes out and won't relite,, you will need to replace the coils. Hope this helps.
