Whirlpool Fuse Or Sensor

This is a thermal safety fuse that opens the circuit if temperatures rise beyond a safe limit, protecting the appliance from overheating and preventing further damage. Replacing a failed fuse restores power to the affected circuit once the underlying cause is addressed.

• Monitors temperature in a protected circuit and cuts power if unsafe heat is detected
• Helps prevent overheating-related damage
• Typical failure signs: no power/no operation, cycle won't start, shuts off mid-cycle after overheating event
• Must not be bypassed; replace if open and investigate the root cause of overheating

• Unplug appliance or disconnect power before service
• Verify the fuse is open with a multimeter; replace only after correcting any airflow/overheating issues
• Install in the same orientation and location as the original to ensure proper temperature sensing
• Handle wiring carefully; transfer connectors one at a time to avoid miswiring
