The Whirlpool WP35001193 Dryer Thermal Fuse serves as an important safety component for your clothes dryer. It operates as a silent oversight, preventing your devices from overheating. This fuse is used only once and encompasses a specific temperature-sensitive metal strip. When the dryer's internal temperature increases beyond a safe level, the metal strip melts, causing disruption of the electrical circuit and switching off the heating element. This minimises the risk of fire resulting from a malfunctioning dryer. The thermal fuse typically resides near the heating element or exhaust duct in the dryer. It is an essential element for ensuring secure and efficient drying processes. A blown thermal fuse is frequently the reason why a dryer stops heating. If you suspect an incorrect thermal fuse, unplug the dryer and restore it.
