The Thermal Fuse is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool ovens. As an important safety device, it is located near heat-producing elements inside the oven cavity. 

Causes of a bad thermal fuse include overheating of elements or surrounding components over time, which can eventually blow the fuse. 

Symptoms of a faulty thermal fuse include:

• The oven failing to heat or operate heating cycles fully
• Heating elements abruptly shutting off during baking  
• An unusual burning smell emanating from the oven

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore oven models as well.
