The Thermal Fuse is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This easy-to-install thermal cut-off is designed to shut down your dryer when temperatures become too high, protecting the appliance from overheating. It's a one-time fuse, meaning it cannot be reset and needs to be replaced. It can be tested for continuity with a multimeter.

Causes of Bad Thermal Fuse

• Excessive lint buildup in the dryer vent
• Poor air flow causing overheating
• Failing to clean out the lint filter regularly
• Faulty heating element or drying cycle thermostat

• Inaccurate temperature readings and selections  
• Improper or incomplete drying
• Safety issues from overheating due to lack of feedback
• Error codes displayed on the control panel

Causes can be related to normal wear and environmental exposure over time. Failure prevents the dryer from achieving optimal drying conditions.

The failing seal can also cause the clothes to come out of the dryer wet or damp. Additionally, the clothes may take longer to dry than usual.

Factors that cause a lint screen housing seal to fail include:

• Frequent overloading of the dryer
• Natural wear and tear
• Exposure to high temperatures and humidity

If your dryer's lint screen housing seal starts to fail, it's best to replace it right away.
