Whirlpool Microwave Fuse Or Sensor

This thermostat retainer secures the refrigerator thermostat or temperature sensor in place to ensure accurate temperature sensing and stable operation. It replaces a worn or broken mounting clip to restore proper sensor positioning. What it does:

• Holds the thermostat/temperature sensor firmly against the evaporator or designated mounting point
• Prevents sensor movement that can cause erratic temperature readings or cooling issues
• Maintains correct sensor alignment for reliable refrigerator temperature control
• Helps reduce vibration and wear on the thermostat assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing interior panels or trim; keep fasteners organized
• Handle the thermostat and sensor carefully to avoid damaging the sensing element or wiring

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature so the control board can regulate cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature readings and more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses internal refrigerator temperature and sends a variable resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control system cycle the compressor and fans correctly for stable temperatures
• Commonly replaced when refrigerator runs too cold, too warm, or has irregular cooling cycles
• Can address temperature-error codes or defrost control issues when the sensor is faulty

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the sensor
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage to the probe or connectors
• Install in the original sensor mounting location and secure wiring away from moving parts

This thermostat is a temperature-limiting control that helps regulate oven/cooking temperature and prevents overheating for safer operation. It replaces a failed limiter to restore proper temperature control and reliable heat cycling. What it does

• Opens or interrupts power when oven temperature exceeds the set limit to prevent overheating
• Restores normal thermostat cycling when the original limiter fails or sticks
• Common symptom: oven runs too hot or will not maintain set temperature
• Common symptom: oven shuts off or will not heat because limiter has opened

• One thermostat (temperature limiter) as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service
• Access location, removal, and wiring vary by model; refer to your model-specific service instructions
• Handle the sensing element carefully; do not kink or damage the capillary/tube

This oven temperature sensor detects internal oven temperature so the control can regulate heating for even cooking and accurate bake cycles. Replaces a failed or intermittent sensor to restore proper temperature control. What it does

• Senses oven cavity temperature and sends readings to the control board
• Can cause oven to run too hot, too cool, or display temperature-related errors when failing
• Often used when bake/broil cycles are inconsistent or the oven won't reach set temperatures
• Works as the temperature feedback component for electronic oven controls

• Disconnect power to the appliance before testing or replacing the sensor
• Handle the sensor probe and wiring gently; avoid pulling on wires or kinking the lead
• Verify replacement by visually inspecting connections and testing continuity with a multimeter

This fixed thermostat senses temperature and opens or closes the electrical circuit to control heating. It replaces a failed temperature-sensing switch to restore proper heating control and safety. What it does:

• Monitors appliance temperature and interrupts power when the set limit is reached
• Prevents overheating by opening the circuit at high temperatures
• Restores normal heating control when a failed thermostat causes no heat or continuous heating
• Works as a safety/limit device in the appliance's heating system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the thermostat and sensing element gently; avoid bending or stressing terminals
• Refer to the appliance service manual or OEM instructions for proper placement and mounting

This lower oven thermostat regulates oven temperature for accurate baking and roasting. Replaces a failed temperature-sensing thermostat to restore consistent oven heat and reliable cooking results. What it does:

• Senses oven cavity temperature and signals the control to cycle the heating element
• Stops oven overheating or underheating when the thermostat is functioning correctly
• Commonly replaced for inconsistent temperatures, oven running too hot/too cold, or no temperature control
• Works as the lower-oven temperature regulator in ranges with separate upper/lower oven controls

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Handle the sensing bulb and capillary tube carefully; do not kink or sharply bend
• Verify oven is fully cooled and remove oven racks for access before installation
