Whirlpool WP4451354 Range Thermal Fuse

The Whirlpool WP4451354 thermal fuse has been created solely for Whirlpool ovens. It serves as a vital safety device, preventing your oven from overheating. Thermal fuses make up a heat-sensitive metal alloy that melts when temperatures exceed a safe level. This melting breaks the electrical connection to the heating element, transforming down the oven and preventing additional harm or a fire. The thermal fuse, that is located within the oven cavity, constantly monitors the temperature during operation. If an issue causes the oven to overheat, a thermal fuse will trip, halting the heating element and preventing the temperature from increasing higher. This safety function provides comfort by immediately interfering in the occurrence of overheating.
