Whirlpool WP53-1182 Thermal Fuse OEM Part

When I pulled out the dryer from the wall, I could see dust/lint had accumulated everywhere and the vent system was compromised. I vacuumed up the dust/lint accumulation outside and then inside the vent system. I then opened the lower cabinet to clean and check its condition. I removed the water steamer bottle and its sub-assembly and then the drum. After cleaning and inspecting components — both visually and with a multi-meter I determined the problem was the appliance doing what it was designed to do. It was shutting off because of restricted flow out the vent caused by dust/lint accumulating. I further confirmed this by returning power and switching the dryer on with the cabinet still open and the drum still removed. I could observe the igniter heating to a glow and then the gas valve delivering fuel followed by ignition. I ran the unit for approximately a minute to see if it would cycle off or continue. It operated normally. I replaced the drive belt on the drum as part of routine service as the appliance cabinet was open and it was due. I redesigned and installed a new vent system to prevent problems in the future. It was a three-hour job in addition to the dryer work of an hour. I ordered a number of parts to have on hand as I generally perform my own repairs. I found the information on your website to be helpful in determining which parts to the stock based on the problems others had and your troubleshooting information. I also want to compliment you on your prices as I found other sources charging twice the amount for the same part. Shipping was fast and as advertised. I have you listed as my source for major appliance parts.

Replaced the themal fuse

I knew i had a bad thermal fuse when it wouldn't start, so i took it apart and noticed the belt was getting ready to break. i went online to your website and was able to get all the parts i needed at a good price, they said shipping would only take 1.7 days which actually turned into 5 but it was easy to fix once i got the parts. highly recomend them

Ordered part and replaced, very simple job not much to say about it. Your service however, is awesome, part was here the next day, much sooner than I expected or paid for, so yeah, if you want an endorsement then you got. Thank you.

Replaced the high limit thermostat and thermal fuse, mainly because sometimes the fuse fails because the thermostat fails first. Both parts probably being original on this 20+ year old dryer, I just replaced them both. As a final step, to be sure, I checked the vent for obstructions and found it to be clear. For this retired appliance repair technician, the job was easy.
