Description

This motor thermal protector helps prevent dryer motor damage by interrupting power if the motor overheats. It's a simple safety device that restores operation once the motor cools. What it does:

• Senses excessive motor temperature and opens the circuit to stop the motor
• Helps prevent motor burnout and reduces risk of further electrical damage
• Can cause a dryer not to start or to stop mid-cycle when it has tripped
• Works with the dryer's motor as a temperature-based safety cutoff

What's included:

• One motor thermal overload protector

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing panels or touching wiring
• Replace only with the exact part; match mounting and terminal configuration
• Inspect surrounding wiring and motor for damage before reassembly
• Diagnose for motor, venting, or airflow issues if the overload has tripped repeatedly
