Wall Oven Fuse Or Sensor

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is designed to monitor the oven's temperature and automatically cut off power to the heating elements if the temperature exceeds a certain threshold. It acts as a failsafe to prevent excessive heat buildup and potential damage to the oven or surrounding areas.

Causes of a faulty oven thermal fuse can include a power surge, overheating, or electrical component failure. These factors can result in the thermal fuse blowing; interrupting the power supply to the heating elements and preventing further operation of the oven.

Symptoms of a bad oven thermal fuse may include:

• Oven not heating up at all
• Error codes or error messages displayed on the oven's control panel
• Oven appears to be powered off

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
For the 248F thermal fuse with the insulated female spade and plug order WP4456654.

The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ovens. It acts as a safety mechanism that monitors the oven's temperature to prevent overheating. When the oven exceeds a specific temperature, the high-limit thermostat interrupts the electrical flow to the heating element, ensuring the appliance remains within safe operating conditions.

Causes of a bad High Limit Thermostat can include a malfunction due to electrical issues or component failure. It may become unresponsive over time, failing to cut off the power to the heating element when the oven overheats.

Symptoms of a bad High Limit Thermostat include:

• The oven not heating up adequately or overheating
• Inconsistent oven temperatures leading to undercooked or overcooked food
• The thermostat being unresponsive or failing to regulate the oven’s temperature

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

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Hi-Limit Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. It is a safety component responsible for monitoring internal oven temperatures. The hi-limit switch helps prevent overheating by detecting when excessive heat has built up inside the oven cavity. It will automatically cut power to the bake/broil elements if temperatures rise too high.

Causes of a bad hi limit switch can include normal failure after years of exposure to heat, or issues with the electronic components or calibration.

Symptoms of a bad hi-limit switch include:

• The oven failing to heat up or bake/broil food properly
• Frequent thermal cut outs requiring the oven to be unplugged
• Delays in the oven reaching the set temperature
• Oven will not turn on

This is a genuine OEM part that works for some models of GE, and Hotpoint models.

This thermal fuse is a one-time safety cutoff for select ovens. It opens if excessive heat is detected, interrupting power to the control circuit to help protect components. Replacing a blown fuse may restore control/display power.

• Opens permanently at approximately 105°C (221°F) to cut power during overheat conditions
• Helps protect the electronic control and wiring from heat damage
• Addresses: blank display or unresponsive controls, oven not heating, unit shutting off during self-clean or high-heat use

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Location varies by model; typically mounted on the oven cabinet near the control area or cooling system
• Replace like-for-like; do not bypass. Transfer existing connectors and secure in the original position
• Check cooling fan operation, airflow/vents, and wiring to correct the cause of overheating

• Cut-off temperature: 105°C (221°F)
• Non-resettable (one-time) fuse

The Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is a crucial safety component designed to protect the microwave from electrical surges and potential short circuits by breaking the circuit if the current flow exceeds safe levels.

Causes of a bad microwave fuse can include electrical surges, faulty wiring, or normal wear and tear over time. A blown fuse will render the microwave inoperable, as it cuts off the power supply to prevent further damage or hazards.

Symptoms of a bad microwave fuse include:

• The microwave not powering on
• The microwave stopping mid-operation
• No response from the control panel or keypad
• Sudden loss of power during use

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 part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges. It acts as a safety device that cuts off power to the appliance if it overheats, preventing potential damage or fire hazards. This fuse ensures that the oven operates within safe temperature limits by shutting down the electrical circuit when necessary.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include prolonged exposure to high temperatures, electrical surges, or a malfunctioning oven component that causes overheating. These issues can compromise the integrity of the fuse, rendering it ineffective.

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• The oven not heating up
• The oven shutting off unexpectedly during use
• No power to the oven

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
