Roper Fuse Or Sensor

This is a thermal safety fuse that opens the circuit if temperatures rise beyond a safe limit, protecting the appliance from overheating and preventing further damage. Replacing a failed fuse restores power to the affected circuit once the underlying cause is addressed.

• Monitors temperature in a protected circuit and cuts power if unsafe heat is detected
• Helps prevent overheating-related damage
• Typical failure signs: no power/no operation, cycle won't start, shuts off mid-cycle after overheating event
• Must not be bypassed; replace if open and investigate the root cause of overheating

• Unplug appliance or disconnect power before service
• Verify the fuse is open with a multimeter; replace only after correcting any airflow/overheating issues
• Install in the same orientation and location as the original to ensure proper temperature sensing
• Handle wiring carefully; transfer connectors one at a time to avoid miswiring

The Cut-Off Terminal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This component acts as a safety device that cuts off the electrical circuit to prevent overheating. It is crucial for maintaining the dryer's safe operation and ensuring that the appliance does not overheat, which could lead to potential fire hazards. The kit contains a 325°F thermal fuse and a 250°F high limit thermostat. Use a multimeter to test the old fuse for continuity at room temperature; it should read zero ohms.

Causes of a bad cut-off terminal can include excessive lint buildup leading to overheating, electrical issues, or wear and tear from regular use. These factors can cause the terminal to fail, preventing the dryer from operating safely.

Symptoms of a bad cut-off terminal include:

• Dryer not starting
• Dryer overheating
• Dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• No heat during the drying cycle

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

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM component for Whirlpool dryers. As a one-time-use safety component, the thermal fuse monitors heat levels and acts as an overload protector. This is a one-time use fuse that cannot be reset.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse include exposure to excessively high temperatures from a failure or blockage of another component like the venting system.

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse are:

• The dryer fails to heat at all
• Randomly cutting out during cycles
• Visible damage or melting of the fuse housing

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

The Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a critical role in regulating the temperature inside the dryer by cycling the heating element on and off to maintain the desired level of heat. This ensures that clothes are dried efficiently and safely.

Common causes of a bad thermostat include electrical malfunctions, overheating, or wear and tear over time. These issues can prevent the thermostat from accurately controlling the temperature, leading to drying inefficiencies or potential safety hazards.

Symptoms of a bad Thermostat include:

• The dryer not heating up
• Overheating or extremely high temperatures
• Clothes taking too long to dry
• The dryer shutting off prematurely

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

The Moisture Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part detects the moisture level in the clothing during the drying cycle, allowing the dryer to adjust the drying time accordingly. 

Causes of a bad moisture sensor can include regular wear and tear, buildup of lint or residue, or physical damage. 

Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry or coming out still damp
• The dryer not stopping when clothes are dry
• The dryer shutting off prematurely
• Inconsistent drying results

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

This thermal fuse protects your appliance by opening the circuit if temperatures climb beyond a safe limit, helping prevent wiring or control damage. When it blows, the unit may lose all power or stop mid-cycle. What it does:

• Cuts power when overheating is detected to protect internal components
• Helps prevent damage from shorted heaters, motors, or wiring faults
• Common symptoms: no power, won't start, shuts off during operation, no lights/display
• A blown fuse reads open (no continuity) and must be replaced—it is not resettable

• 1 thermal fuse

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access the fuse location per your model's service information; note wire orientation and mounting
• Replace one-for-one; do not bypass or up-rate the fuse. Identify and correct the overheating cause before restoring power.

This electrical safety fuse opens the circuit when a short or overcurrent occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power after the root cause is corrected, protecting controls and wiring from further damage.

• Protects the appliance by interrupting power during overcurrent or short-circuit events
• When open/blown, the appliance may be completely unresponsive
• Helps prevent damage to control boards and wiring during faults
• Often fails after a component shorts or a power surge occurs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity; replace only if open
• Install a fuse with the exact same rating and form factor as the original
• If the new fuse blows again, stop and diagnose the underlying fault; consider service for high-voltage systems

This fixed-temperature thermostat is a temperature-sensing safety switch that opens at a set limit to help prevent overheating and protect heating systems. Use it to restore proper thermal cutoff control in affected appliances. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and opens the circuit when a set limit is reached to stop heating
• Acts as a high-limit/thermal cutoff to prevent overheating and potential damage
• Can restore normal heating control when a faulty limiter causes shutdowns or safety trips
• Common symptom link: appliance heater runs erratically, will not heat, or heats continuously and may trip safety circuits

• One fixed-temperature thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the thermostat
• Handle and test with care; verify continuity with a multimeter to confirm failure before replacing
• Follow the appliance service manual and wiring diagrams for correct location and wiring

This ignition electrode delivers the spark needed to light the burner in compatible gas ovens and ranges, restoring reliable ignition so burners and bake/broil functions light properly. What it does:

• Produces the spark for the gas burner to ignite
• Helps ensure consistent ignition timing and burner starts
• Commonly used when a burner fails to light or ignition is intermittent
• Works with the oven/range ignition system to start bake and broil cycles

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before starting any repair
• Handle the ceramic/insulated tip carefully to avoid cracking or contamination
• Verify correct electrode position and secure mounting for reliable sparking
