Washer Dryer Combo Fuse Or Sensor

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part prevents the dryer from overheating by cutting off the power if the dryer exceeds a certain temperature. 

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include regular wear and tear, lint build-up, restricted airflow, or a malfunctioning thermostat. 

Symptoms of a bad thermal fuse include:

• The dryer not starting
• The dryer shutting off unexpectedly during a cycle
• No heat production during drying
• The dryer running but not heating

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

This dryer safety thermostat monitors internal temperature and opens the circuit if the unit overheats, protecting the heater and wiring. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper over-temperature cutoff and safe, consistent drying performance. What it does:

• Monitors air temperature at the heater/exhaust path
• Interrupts power to the heating element if temperatures exceed its limit
• Helps prevent overheating and thermal damage
• Common symptoms can include: no heat, heat cutting out early or overheating, or the dryer shutting off on high heat

• 1 safety thermostat

• Disconnect power before service; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Typically mounted on the heater housing or exhaust duct; note wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Secure with existing hardware and ensure tight electrical connections
• After replacement, clean the lint filter, vent hose, and exhaust duct to ensure proper airflow and prevent repeat overheat trips

This thermal limiter is the dryer's high-limit thermostat. It monitors temperature and opens the heating circuit if the dryer overheats, helping protect components and allowing the appliance to operate safely.

• Provides over-temperature protection for the dryer's heating circuit
• Opens the circuit when excessive heat is detected to prevent damage
• If failed open, the dryer may run but not heat
• Repeated tripping can cause intermittent heat and longer dry times

• Disconnect power and allow the dryer to cool before servicing; shut off gas supply for gas models
• Handle wiring carefully; transfer leads one at a time and mount the limiter in the original location/orientation
• Use a multimeter to check continuity
• Clear lint buildup and prevent repeat overheating

This dryer control thermostat regulates internal temperature by cycling the heater on and off. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper, consistent drying temperatures to protect fabrics and improve overall drying performance.

• Monitors exhaust temperature and opens/closes contacts to maintain target heat
• Helps prevent underheating and overheating during drying cycles
• Common symptoms of failure: no heat or low heat, long dry times, runs too hot, inconsistent temperatures
• A sticking thermostat may cause the high-limit safety to trip

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access location varies by model; typically mounted on the blower or heater housing
• Move wires one at a time from the old thermostat to the new one; ensure tight, secure connections
• After replacement, clean the lint path and verify exterior venting for proper airflow

This temperature control thermostat regulates your appliance's internal temperature by opening and closing the electrical circuit as conditions change, helping it reach and maintain the setting you select for consistent performance. What it does:

• Senses temperature and opens/closes contacts to control the system
• Helps maintain the set temperature by cycling the unit on and off
• Can lead to inconsistent temperature or a control knob that has no effect

• 1 temperature control thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; use proper PPE around sharp sheet metal
• Photograph wiring and transfer conductors one at a time to the new control
• Route it exactly as original and avoid kinks or sharp bends
• Set the control to mid-range after installation and allow the unit to stabilize before fine-tuning

This safety thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch that helps protect your appliance from overheating. When excessive heat is detected, it opens the circuit to stop power to critical components, helping prevent damage and ensuring safe operation.

• Monitors temperature at a specific location and interrupts power if it exceeds a safe limit
• Can cause no power, no heat, or shutdown during use when failed or tripped
• Helps prevent overheating damage to internal components
• Restores normal operation when replaced

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service
• Note wire positions and terminal orientation before removal
• Use proper tools and avoid bending or stressing terminals
• After installation, check for underlying overheating causes (blocked airflow, failed fan, etc.)

This cycling thermostat regulates dryer drum air temperature by switching the heater on and off at its rated setpoints. It helps maintain consistent drying performance and protects against overheating for safer, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Regulates heater cycling to maintain target drum temperature during a cycle
• Opens on temperature rise and recloses as the air cools to prevent runaway heat
• Failure can present as no heat, weak heat/long dry times, or overly hot operation
• Operates around a 180F open / 140F close rating per catalog specification

• 1 cycling thermostat

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access location varies by model; remove the appropriate panel to reach it
• Note wire positions; transfer leads one at a time and secure the thermostat with the original screws
• After installation, clean lint passages and ensure proper vent airflow to prevent overheating and repeat failures

This internal-bias thermostat senses oven temperature and helps the control board maintain the set heat level. Replacing a failing thermostat restores more consistent temperature control and more reliable cooking results. What it does:

• Senses cavity temperature and signals the control to cycle the heating element or burner
• Regulates heating cycles so the oven reaches and holds the set temperature
• Common symptoms: oven takes too long to heat, temperature fluctuates or runs too hot, or the oven cycles on/off erratically

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit breaker) before servicing to avoid shock
• Access location varies by model—part is typically mounted near the control or inside the oven cavity housing
• Handle the sensor element and terminals carefully to avoid damage; reuse of mounting hardware depends on your model

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

This Thermostat L225 is a temperature limit thermostat that helps regulate heat and prevent overheating in the appliance. It restores proper temperature control so the unit runs safely and more reliably. What it does:
