Key Features

  • Critical Safety Overheat Protection: Designed as a non-resettable safety device that permanently "blows" to break the electrical circuit if the dryer internal temperature exceeds a safe limit (typically 196°F).
  • High-Conductivity Terminals: Features two 1/4-inch male spade terminals for a secure, low-resistance connection to the dryer's wiring harness, ensuring consistent power delivery.
  • Durable Heat-Resistant Housing: The fuse body is constructed from high-grade, flame-retardant plastic designed to withstand the high-vibration environment of the blower housing.
  • Quick Restoration: Provides an affordable and straightforward solution to restore dryer functionality without the need for expensive professional repairs.

Compatibility & Fitment

This thermal fuse is one of the most widely used safety components in the appliance industry. It is compatible with most 29-inch wide dryers built by Whirlpool Corporation, including:

  • Whirlpool & Kenmore: Fits a vast majority of 70, 80, 90, and 110-series residential dryers.
  • Maytag: Compatible with Centennial and Bravos models produced after 2006.
  • Additional Brands: Fits KitchenAid, Estate, Roper, Inglis, Crosley, Admiral, and Amana dryers.
  • Note: This fuse is typically located on the blower wheel housing. If your dryer has two fuses on the heater box, this may be the one paired with the high-limit thermostat.

When to Replace

  • Dryer Won't Start: On most electric dryers, a blown thermal fuse will prevent the motor from turning over entirely to prevent fire hazards.
  • No Heat: On some gas dryers, the drum may still spin, but the igniter will not glow or release gas if the thermal fuse has failed.
  • Testing for Failure: Use a multimeter to test for "continuity." If the meter does not beep or shows "OL" (Open Line) when touching both terminals, the fuse is blown and must be replaced.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First (CRITICAL): Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet or turn off the circuit breaker before removing the back panel.
  • Identify the Cause (PRO TIP): Thermal fuses rarely blow without a reason. Before installing the new fuse, check your dryer vent hose for clogs. A blocked vent is the #1 cause of overheating and blown fuses.
  • Check the High-Limit Thermostat: Often, the high-limit thermostat (located near the fuse) fails at the same time. It is highly recommended to inspect or replace both as a pair to ensure a permanent repair.
  • Vacuum the Blower: While the back panel is off, take a moment to vacuum out the lint buildup around the blower wheel and motor area to improve airflow and prevent the new fuse from blowing.

My dog loves this guy!!
Color: gray & pink
This is the cutest little guy and my dog loves him. He knows him by name, he is tough and holds up incredibly well. My dog can give it a good chew but no problem! Make more cute ones and we will give them all names for him to play with.

Cute and well loved.
Color: gray & pink, Color: gray & pink
My dog gives this 5 stars because she loves to destroy stuffies and this was no exception. She immediately removed the ears and tail, along with the little nubs that were supposed to be nostrils. I give is a few points because she still hasn't removed any legs. I thought it was so cute, and it is far less cute since my dog has had her way with it. She still loves it however…so it is a winner in our book. The photo is after only a couple hours of play
