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.

Good speed
Color: C-Black, Size: Model C Rechargeable
Love the rechargeable feature, works great as a frother, however, I have to get use to the on/off feature instead of the press to froth like the older unit.

Hold on tight! Has the strength to spin right out of your hands. 😀
Color: C-Stand Black, Size: Model C Rechargeable
What a pleasant surprise to experience this double whisk Electric Milk Frother!! The sheer power is incredible. Makes the most delicious blended Green Tea Match Latte, Dalgona Coffee and Mochas! The only "con" happened yesterday when I was frothing my Green Tea and the device just suddenly stopped! At the time, I wished that there was some sort of colored bulbs or other way of determining charge levels. A remarkably strong Milk Frother!

It froths, but is not dependent
Color: C-Black, Size: Model C Rechargeable
While this frother does “froth”, it has many more cons than pros. The ONLY pro is it froths. The cons—only good for a traditional coffee cup. It is not water proof, and the instructions say to keep the “unit “ dry. As you froth, the liquid naturally raises height. If you are trying to use a Togo coffee mug, or thermos type travel mug—it only works well if done it three or four levels to ensure keeping the motor above the liquid. The “rechargeable “ function DOES recharge, however- it may last 1use or a few. It’s VERY inconsistent. And does not seem to be related to how long you allow it to charge. Overall—not a good buy. I had mine maybe 3 months before it quit working. And at 2 months it started becoming spastic. Even after just being charged-it wouldn’t even froth 1cup. AVOID!!

Easy to Use and Works Great
Color: C-Black, Size: Model C Rechargeable, Color: C-Black, Size: Model C Rechargeable
This milk frother works amazingly well! It’s powerful, easy to use, and creates rich, creamy foam in just seconds. The rechargeable design is very convenient, and the battery lasts a long time between charges. It feels sturdy and well-made, and cleaning it is quick and simple. I use it every day for my coffee, lattes, and hot chocolate, and it has exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for an affordable and effective milk frother, this is definitely a great choice. Highly recommended
