Description

Thermal cutoff is a temperature-sensing safety device that opens the circuit to stop heating when temperatures get too high. Replace a failed cutoff to restore over-temperature protection and help prevent overheating-related damage. What it does:

• Opens the electrical circuit when internal temperature exceeds safe limits to stop heating elements.
• Prevents continued operation during overheating, protecting components and reducing fire risk.
• A failed cutoff can cause no heat, intermittent heating, or an appliance that shuts off unexpectedly.
• Works as a safety interlock — do not bypass or replace with non-equivalent parts.

What's included: One thermal cutoff Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the cutoff.
• Located on the heater assembly or control housing; follow the model's service manual for access.
• Replace in the same orientation and wiring configuration; secure all connectors and panels before restoring power.
