The Dryer Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is a critical safety device designed to prevent the dryer from overheating. The thermal fuse acts as a cutoff, interrupting the electrical flow to the dryer’s heating element or motor if the dryer exceeds a safe temperature threshold.
Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include excessive lint buildup blocking the exhaust vent, restricted airflow, a malfunctioning thermostat, or overloading the dryer.
Symptoms of a bad Dryer Thermal Fuse include:
- Dryer not starting
- Dryer not heating
- The cycle ending prematurely
- No response when pressing the start button
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
