Description: This Dryer Thermal Fuse and Thermostat is a replacement part for specific Maytag, Kenmore, Whirlpool dryer models. 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. Common causes of a bad thermal fuse can include excessive lint buildup blocking the exhaust vent, restricted airflow, a malfunctioning thermostat, or overloading the dryer.
This is an aftermarket part that can be used as a replacement for the OEM part.
