If your Whirlpool dryer or washer/dryer combo is not functioning properly, it may be due to a damaged thermal cut-off. This thermal cut off kit is an authentic OEM replacement kit that is designed to prevent the dryer from overheating.

Made of durable metal. Both components are mounted on the heater housing. They measure approximately 2 inches long and 1.5 inches wide each. If the thermal cut-off fuse has gone out, the dryer will not function but replacing it using the components in this kit is simple.

This Kit Includes:

• High Limit Thermostat (250°F Limit)
• A Cut Off Fuse (309°F Limit)
• Female Spade Terminals
• Jumper Wires

It is important to note that a plugged lint screen, something stuck in the exhaust vent, or a broken blower wheel can cause the thermal cut-off to fail or become damaged. Don't wait to replace a faulty thermal cut-off. Order now.
