Description

This thermal cut-off switch is a high-temperature safety device that interrupts power if the appliance overheats. Replacing a failed cutout restores proper overheat protection and can help address no-heat or shutdown issues caused by an open safety circuit.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting location and opens the circuit if temperatures exceed a safe limit
• A failed/open cutout can cause no heat, intermittent heating, or the unit shutting off during use
• Helps protect components from damage due to overheating
• Location varies by model; typically mounted to a bracket or surface near a heat source

What's included: 1 thermal cut-off switch Installation notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Note wire orientation and transfer leads one at a time to the new switch
• Mount in the original position with firm, flush contact for accurate temperature sensing
• After replacement, inspect airflow/venting and nearby fans/filters to address any underlying overheating causes
