Whirlpool Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

This thermostat is the temperature-sensing switch that helps the appliance maintain its set temperature for reliable operation. It replaces a failed temperature control that causes improper heating or cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses temperature and opens or closes the circuit to control heating/cooling cycles
• Prevents overheating by interrupting power when temperatures exceed set thresholds
• Restores normal cycling when the control no longer conducts (common with failed thermostats)
• Common symptoms include the appliance not reaching or holding temperature, cycling too frequently, or running continuously

• One thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Follow the appliance service manual for removal and proper wiring location
• Verify electrical continuity of the old and new thermostat with a multimeter before and after installation

This thermostat is the temperature control switch that regulates cooling cycles to help keep your refrigerator at the right temperature. Replaces a worn or faulty control to restore consistent cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the cooling circuit to maintain set temperature.
• Starts and stops the compressor and/or evaporator fan based on temperature demand.
• Commonly used when the fridge runs constantly, doesn't cool enough, or cycles on and off too frequently.
• Works with mechanical temperature control systems.

• Disconnect power before diagnosis and replacement to avoid electric shock.
• Mount in the original location and route capillary/tubing per original routing; avoid kinks.
• Test operation after installation by allowing the unit to run through a full cycle.

The thermal cutoff is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This thermal cutoff plays an important safety role by automatically shutting off power to the dryer's heating element in the event of excessive temperatures.

The thermal cutoff is responsible for monitoring air temperatures inside the dryer drum and air ducts. As temperatures rise past safe levels, the thermal cutoff triggers, cutting power to prevent damage and possible fire hazards.

Causes of a bad thermal cutoff can include overheating from issues such as a clogged or blocked vent hose, venting into an unvented space, an accumulation of lint, or a failing vent switch.

Symptoms of a bad thermal cutoff include:

• The dryer not heating up or heating unevenly
• Repeatedly tripping the circuit breaker during operation
• Scorching or burning odors detected from the dryer drum or vent

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

This ignition electrode delivers the spark needed to light the burner in compatible gas ovens and ranges, restoring reliable ignition so burners and bake/broil functions light properly. What it does:

• Produces the spark for the gas burner to ignite
• Helps ensure consistent ignition timing and burner starts
• Commonly used when a burner fails to light or ignition is intermittent
• Works with the oven/range ignition system to start bake and broil cycles

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before starting any repair
• Handle the ceramic/insulated tip carefully to avoid cracking or contamination
• Verify correct electrode position and secure mounting for reliable sparking

This high-limit thermostat helps stop overheating by opening the heater circuit at preset temperatures, protecting the appliance and improving safety. Replace a failed thermostat to restore proper over-temperature shutoff. What it does:

• Opens the heating circuit at its rated temperature to prevent excessive heat buildup
• Stops the heater from running if the appliance overheats
• Common symptoms: appliance overheating, no heating or intermittent heating, or heat cycling off unexpectedly
• Used as a safety cutoff in the appliance's heating system

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the thermostat
• Handle terminals carefully and note wiring locations for correct reassembly
• Verify operation only after proper installation and restoring power
