Function and Importance:

The thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat are crucial components in your dryer’s safety system. The high-limit thermostat monitors the dryer's temperature and regulates the heating element to prevent overheating. If the dryer exceeds safe operating temperatures, the thermal fuse acts as a safety cutoff, interrupting power to prevent potential fires or damage.

Common signs that these components may need replacement include:

  • Dryer not heating or insufficient heat.

  • Dryer fails to start.

  • Drying cycles ending prematurely.

  • Overheating or unusually high dryer temperatures.
