WP40113801 Whirlpool Thermal Fuse for Dryers

Thermal Fuse for Dryers.

The High Limit Thermal Fuse is a genuine replacement part compatible with Whirlpool dryers, designed to prevent overheating. This critical safety component is a single-use item that needs replacement once activated. It is engineered to activate under extremely high temperatures, thereby protecting both the appliance and the surrounding environment.

Common reasons for the malfunction of a High Limit Thermal Fuse include obstructed airflow through the dryer or its exhaust systems, overloading the dryer, or a malfunction within the dryer’s heating components that leads to excessive heat.

Indicators of a faulty High Limit Thermal Fuse are:

- The dryer failing to start or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle.
- The absence of heat during operation, which results in clothes remaining damp.
- Identification of a blown fuse through a continuity test.

This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part from Whirlpool is also suitable for use in appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.

Replacing this part can resolve issues such as:

- Overheating
- Insufficient or no heat production during use
