Admiral Dryer ADE20L2A Won't start or doesn't start

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part prevents the dryer from overheating by cutting off power to the heating element if the dryer exceeds a safe temperature. It helps protect the appliance and home from potential fire hazards caused by overheating.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include lint buildup restricting airflow, a malfunctioning thermostat, or excessive load causing the dryer to overheat.  

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• Dryer not starting
• Dryer not producing heat
• Dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• No power to the dryer despite other electrical components functioning

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