Description

The Cut-Off Terminal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This component acts as a safety device that cuts off the electrical circuit to prevent overheating. It is crucial for maintaining the dryer's safe operation and ensuring that the appliance does not overheat, which could lead to potential fire hazards. The kit contains a 325°F thermal fuse and a 250°F high limit thermostat. Use a multimeter to test the old fuse for continuity at room temperature; it should read zero ohms.

Causes of a bad cut-off terminal can include excessive lint buildup leading to overheating, electrical issues, or wear and tear from regular use. These factors can cause the terminal to fail, preventing the dryer from operating safely.

Symptoms of a bad cut-off terminal include:

• Dryer not starting
• Dryer overheating
• Dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• No heat during the drying cycle

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