Water Temperature Sensor Parts

Fridge not defrosting or has excessive frost buildup? This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature to control the defrost cycle. 15-minute fix.

Removes chlorine and impurities for better-tasting coffee. Replace after approximately 400 cups of coffee or 1000 espresso shots. Verify fit with your model.

Freezer won't maintain temperature or cycles incorrectly? This thermistor sensor monitors temperature and signals the control board. DIY-friendly repair.

A thin pad-style moisture sensor that detects wetness levels during the dry cycle and sends signals to the dryer control so the machine can adjust drying time. Replaces a worn or damaged sensor to restore reliable moisture-sensing performance. What it does:

• Detects residual moisture in the drum or on clothing and communicates readings to the control board
• Helps the dryer end cycles when items reach the set dryness level to prevent over-drying
• Common symptoms of a failing pad: long or incomplete drying cycles, clothes still damp at cycle end, or inconsistent auto-dry behavior
• Works as the sensing surface that partners with the dryer's sensing system to measure conductivity/moisture

• One sensor pad

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the sensor surface carefully; avoid touching conductive areas with bare hands or tools
• Install in the original mounting location and secure wiring connectors firmly; verify routing to avoid pinching

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.

The NTC thermistor is a temperature sensor located near the microwave's magnetron that monitors internal temperature for proper cooking control. Replace when food cooks unevenly, the microwave overheats, shuts off unexpectedly, or displays temperature-related error codes.

This is a high-limit thermostat that monitors the temperature of the heater element in a window or room air conditioner equipped with supplemental heat. It acts as a safety device by cutting power to the heater if temperatures exceed safe levels, preventing overheating and potential fire hazards. Replace this thermostat if the heater shuts off prematurely, fails to turn on, or if the unit is tripping due to overheating.

Routes wastewater from your dishwasher pump to the home drain. Replace if cracked, kinked, punctured, or worn to restore proper drainage and prevent leaks.

Freezer not cooling or frosting over? This defrost thermostat monitors temperature and controls the defrost cycle to prevent ice buildup and restore airflow.

Holds filter cartridge and routes water to dispenser and icemaker. Replace if dispenser flow drops, stuttering occurs, or leaks develop. Confirm fit.

Frost buildup in your freezer? This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature and controls the defrost heater to prevent ice accumulation.

Fix an oven that overheats or shuts off unexpectedly with this high limit thermostat. Safety cutoff prevents damage. DIY-friendly replacement part.

This 250V 15A safety fuse protects the appliance's line circuit from overcurrent. When the original fuse has blown, replacing it can restore power and help safeguard internal components from further damage.

• Opens the circuit if excessive current or a short occurs, protecting internal parts
• Common symptom: unit completely dead—no display, lights, or response to controls
• Blown fuse will test open (no continuity) with a multimeter
• If a new fuse blows again, another component may be shorted and needs diagnosis

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; microwaves can retain a dangerous charge—discharge the high-voltage capacitor
• Access the fuse near the line filter/control area; note clip orientation
• Replace only with the same 250V 15A rating; never bypass or upsize the fuse
• If the replacement fuse blows immediately, stop and troubleshoot the root cause

Ceramic

This 250V, 1A fuse protects your washer's control circuit from overcurrent. Replacing it can restore control power once the root cause is corrected.

• Opens to protect electronics when current exceeds its 1A rating
• Check this part if the washer has no power, the control panel is dead, or it won't start
• A blown fuse will test open for continuity
• Repeated failure points to an underlying short or component fault that must be fixed

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the fuse at the control board or fuse holder
• Replace only with the same rating: 1A, 250V
• Inspect wiring/components and correct any short before restoring power

Channels wash water through your dishwasher's spray system. Replace if cracked, leaking, or clogged to restore proper water distribution and flow.
