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.

Disappointed
Color: 6-in-1 Black/Decanter, Size: Rechargeable Set, Color: 6-in-1 Black/Decanter, Size: Rechargeable Set
The aerator worked amazing for about 6 weeks, then started just automatically going off. It drained a $70 bottle of wine. I wanted to cry….. the automatic cork opener is hit and miss. Half the time it’s great and the other half of shreds corks.

Absolute Game Changer for Wine Nights!
Color: 5-in-1 Black/Decanter, Size: Rechargeable Set
I am completely in love with this 5-in-1 electric wine opener set! It has completely taken the struggle out of opening wine bottles. What Makes It Amazing: Effortless Opening: The electric corkscrew is incredibly powerful and smooth. You just place it over the bottle, press down, and it removes the cork in seconds without any pulling, tugging, or broken cork pieces. Instant Aeration: The electric aerator and pourer is a massive standout. It micro-oxygenates the wine right as you pour, instantly opening up the flavors and aromas so you don't have to wait 30–40 minutes for a traditional decanter to work. Smart Preservation: The included vacuum stopper works wonderfully to pump out excess air, keeping leftovers tasting fresh for days. Convenient USB-C Charging: I love that both the opener and decanter are rechargeable via Type-C. A single charge lasts for dozens of bottles, so it’s always ready to go when hosting. The entire set feels lightweight yet highly durable, sleek, and looks beautiful on the counter. It includes everything you need from a clean foil cutter to the dispenser. It would make an incredible gift for any wine lover, but it’s an absolute must-have for your own home bar!

Opener works well and the aerator is so handy to use
Color: 5-in-1 Black/Decanter, Size: Rechargeable Set, Color: 5-in-1 Black/Decanter, Size: Rechargeable Set
So easy to use! This set comes with everything you need to enjoy a nice glass of wine (except the glass and wine itself). lol The bottle foil cutter works very well and is easy to use. The wine opener grabs ahold of the cork all the way down to the bottom of the cork and pulls it out with no issues or breakage. The wine aerator is fabulous and you can really taste the difference in the wine after using it. The silicone cork that it comes with, has a pump feature that allows you to remove some of the excess air in the unused portion of the bottle. This helps your wine last longer until you were ready to drink the remainder. Each accessory is lightweight yet feels very durable. This is so convenient and so so much easier than having to manually remove the cork from a wine bottle. Very pleased with everything in this set!
