Manufacturer Part Number: WP9759944

This fixed thermostat switches near 60C to control a heat-managed circuit—often the oven's cooling/blower fan. Replacing a failed unit restores proper fan cycling and helps protect the control area from excessive heat during and after cooking.

  • Monitors temperature in the oven cabinet/control area and switches power based on heat level
  • Cycles the cooling/blower fan on and off to manage cabinet temperature
  • Helps safeguard electronic controls from heat buildup
  • Failure may cause symptoms such as a fan that won't run, a fan that runs continuously, or an unusually hot control area
What's included: 1 fixed thermostat (60C, SPST) Install notes:
  • Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
  • Access the thermostat per your model; it is typically mounted to a plenum or bracket near the oven cavity
  • Move wires one at a time and mount the new thermostat flat against the surface for accurate sensing
  • Restore power and verify the fan cycles during operation

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Thermostat (Fixed, 60C Spst) (Part Number: OEM18042099)

Thom for Model Number Kitchenaid KESC307HBS8

I recently replaced the control circut board on my oven because the display would go blank after the oven got warm. It now works. But I started wondering why it would overheat and discovered that the cabinet blower (P/N 9751020) located in draw on bottom of oven, does not come on when the oven is on. I have removed and tested the fan, and it works. My question is what controls this fan? Is this fan suppose to run anytime oven is on or just when the cabinet interior walls (not the oven, the space between oven and exterior walls) reach a certan temp? if so what temp? I have had my oven set at 425* for over an hour and fan never kicked in, using both conventional and convection modes. Any ideas? Thanks, Thom

Hello Carle. No, you can remove the control panel and access it. 1. Unplug range or disconnect power. 2. Pull the range forward far enough to access the end cap screws. 3. To remove the control panel: a) Remove the screw from each end cap. b) Open the oven door and remove the three screws from the bottom of the control panel. c) Lift the front of the control panel, pull it forward, and slide the front edge of the cooktop glass out of the slot in the front of the panel. d) Rotate the control panel up and over so the bottom side faces up. To remove a bimetal switch: a) Remove the wires from the terminals. b) Remove the mounting screw.

Hi John. Usually after a considerably amount of use and cleaning temperatures, this will open . This will not allow operation of the oven bake or broil. Part # WP9759944. Thank You.

Hello John. That is the name of the part. It is a fixed thermostat. There was no problem. If the one on your oven is blown, you will need to replace it. Hope this helps.
