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.

Dryer Thermal Fuse
August 30, 2019|Happy B, Maryland
The dryer overheated because of a shorted heater relay, and this fuse also needed to be replaced. After installing it, which is very easy once you have taken the dryer apart, the dryer worked like new.
