Additional Information

This thermal fuse is a critical safety component that prevents your dryer from overheating by shutting off power to the motor, stopping operation in both gas and electric models. In gas dryers, this also prevents the burner from igniting.

Before installing this part, unplug the dryer to avoid electrical hazards. Always check for airflow blockages, such as a clogged lint screen or vent, as restricted airflow is a common cause of thermal fuse failure. Refer to Whirlpool?s installation instructions to ensure proper replacement.
