Description

This thermal overload protector is a safety device that prevents motor overheating by interrupting power when temperatures get too high. It helps protect the motor and electrical components and restores operation when replaced. What it does:

• Detects excessive motor temperature and interrupts power to prevent damage
• Commonly used when motor stalls, overheats, or shorts
• Resets only by replacing the failed protector — it is not an adjustable device

What's included:

• One overload protector (single thermal cutout)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Located on or near the motor/wiring harness; confirm exact location for your model before removing
• Replace with the exact part number; do not attempt to bypass or modify the protector
