Range / Cooktop / Oven Fuse Or Sensor

This thermostat senses appliance temperature and helps the control maintain proper cooling. It replaces a failed temperature switch to restore reliable temperature regulation and protect components from overheating. What it does

• Monitors temperature and signals the control board or compressor to turn cooling on or off
• Prevents overheating by opening the circuit when temperatures exceed safe limits
• Commonly replaced when the appliance does not reach or maintain the correct temperature
• Can stop intermittent cooling or continuous-run symptoms when the original thermostat fails

• One thermostat as shown

• For experienced DIYers only; disconnect power before servicing
• Follow manufacturer instructions and verify correct part placement and wiring before restoring power
• Do not modify the part; use proper tools and replacement hardware

This fixed thermostat monitors and helps regulate appliance temperature to maintain safe operation and reliable cooling/heating. It replaces a worn or failed thermostat to restore proper cycling and temperature control. What it does:

• Opens or closes a circuit at a set temperature to control heating or cooling cycles
• Prevents continuous run by signaling the system to stop when the desired temperature is reached
• Commonly used to address symptoms like no temperature control, compressor or heater running nonstop, or failure to reach set temperature
• Works as a safety/control device to reduce risk of overheating when operating correctly

• One fixed thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Locate and access the thermostat per your model's service instructions (typically mounted near the evaporator, heater, or air path)
• Handle carefully and avoid bending or damaging terminals; verify function with a multimeter if equipped

This oven temperature sensor monitors interior oven temperature and sends readings to the control board so the oven maintains accurate cooking temperatures. Replacing a faulty sensor restores proper temperature sensing for consistent results. What it does:

• Measures oven cavity temperature and reports it to the range/oven control
• Prevents cycling issues that cause over- or under-heating when sensor fails
• Can cause oven not to reach set temperature, long heat times, or temperature error codes
• Works as the temperature feedback element for bake and broil cycles

• One oven temperature sensor (probe) with attached wire connector

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Sensor is typically mounted inside the oven cavity (rear wall) and secured with a retaining screw; access requires opening the oven door and removing the mounting screw and connector
• Handle the thin probe and wiring gently to avoid damage; ensure connector is fully seated when installing

This thermal limiter is a temperature-sensing safety cutoff that helps protect the dryer's heating system from overheating. It interrupts power to the heater when unsafe temperatures are detected to prevent damage or fire risk. What it does:

• Acts as a safety cutoff in the dryer's heating circuit to stop the heater if temperatures rise too high
• Prevents continuous heating that can damage components or create a fire hazard
• Common symptom: dryer runs but produces little or no heat
• Common symptom: dryer heating cycles stop unexpectedly or won't come on

• One thermal limiter

• Disconnect power to the appliance before testing or replacing this part
• Handle and connect the limiter carefully; ensure proper terminal seating and secure mounting
