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.
