The Overload is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an important component of the refrigerator's compressor system, providing protection against electrical overload.

The overload helps safeguard the compressor from excessive electrical currents, preventing potential damage and ensuring the longevity of the refrigerator. It acts as a safety measure by interrupting the power supply to the compressor when necessary.

Causes of a faulty overload can include power surges, excessive heat, or electrical component failure. These factors can lead to the overload not properly regulating the electrical flow, resulting in compressor issues or the refrigerator not cooling effectively.

Symptoms of a bad overload may include:

• The refrigerator not cooling or maintaining the desired temperature
• Unusual noises coming from the compressor
• The compressor not running at all

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This upper SPST thermostat is a single-pole temperature switch that helps control heating by opening the circuit at a set temperature. It restores proper temperature cycling and acts as an over-temperature safety device. What it does:

• Opens/closes the heating circuit at its set temperature to regulate heat output.
• Functions as an upper-limit/safety thermostat to help prevent overheating.
• Common symptoms of failure: no heat, intermittent heating, or continuous heating despite controls.
• Used where an upper-temperature cutoff is required to maintain safe operation.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Compare wiring and mounting orientation to the original part before removal.
• Confirm failure with a multimeter (continuity check) before replacing the thermostat.

This fixed thermostat protects the appliance by opening the circuit when excessive heat is detected. Replacing a failed or weak thermostat restores reliable over-temperature protection and helps prevent heat-related shutdowns.

• Opens the circuit if the protected area overheats to help prevent damage to components
• Helps with symptoms like unexpected shutdowns during operation or no power after overheating
• Can be the cause when the unit only runs again after cooling down
• Helps maintain safe operating temperatures around heat-sensitive parts

• Disconnect power before servicing; some appliances contain high-voltage components
• Access location varies by model; note wire positions before removal and transfer one lead at a time
• Reuse existing mounting hardware; ensure firm terminal connections and correct orientation
• After replacement, confirm proper airflow/venting and normal operation

This fixed thermostat switches near 60C to control a heat-managed circuit—often the oven's cooling/blower fan. Replacing a failed unit restores proper fan cycling and helps protect the control area from excessive heat during and after cooking.

• Monitors temperature in the oven cabinet/control area and switches power based on heat level
• Cycles the cooling/blower fan on and off to manage cabinet temperature
• Helps safeguard electronic controls from heat buildup
• Failure may cause symptoms such as a fan that won't run, a fan that runs continuously, or an unusually hot control area

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the thermostat per your model; it is typically mounted to a plenum or bracket near the oven cavity
• Move wires one at a time and mount the new thermostat flat against the surface for accurate sensing
• Restore power and verify the fan cycles during operation

• Commonly linked to symptoms like no heat, intermittent heating, or a dryer that runs but won't complete cycles
• Works as a single-use safety device—once blown it must be replaced

• One thermal fuse (rated 152°C)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the fuse
• Locate the fuse on the dryer's blower housing/heater assembly per your model's service info
• Replace only with the correct rated fuse; do not bypass or jumper the device
• If the new fuse blows again, inspect the heating system, thermostat, venting, and airflow for faults

This protective fuse safeguards the appliance's electrical circuit. When an overcurrent or short occurs, it opens the circuit to cut power and help prevent damage. Replacing a blown fuse can restore power once the underlying issue is corrected.

• Opens the circuit when current exceeds its design limit or a short is detected
• Helps protect control and other internal components from electrical damage
• Typical symptoms of a failed fuse include no power, dead display/controls, won't start, or immediate power loss
• An underlying electrical fault is likely present and should be diagnosed

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Replace only with the exact type and rating specified for your model; never bypass or upsize a fuse
• Inspect wiring and components for the root cause of the blown fuse before restoring power
• If servicing a microwave, follow the service manual and discharge the high-voltage capacitor; consider service due to shock risk
