The Whirlpool 9763126 Thermal Fuse is a genuine OEM replacement part designed specifically for Whirlpool warming drawers and compatible electric ranges. At Appliance Kingdom, we provide only authentic, high-quality replacement parts to ensure your appliance operates safely and reliably.

Function & Importance
The 9763126 acts as a safety high-limit cutoff, commonly known as a thermal fuse, in your warming drawer. It interrupts electrical power when the temperature rises beyond safe operating limits. This critical function helps prevent overheating, electrical faults, and potential damage to your warming drawer or surrounding cabinetry. Without a working thermal fuse, your warming drawer may overheat, posing serious safety risks.
Common Symptoms of Failure
You may need to replace the 9763126 thermal fuse if you observe:
-
The warming drawer fails to heat or stays completely cold.
-
Intermittent heating: the drawer heats up, then cuts off unexpectedly.
-
Overheating or burning smell: safety cutoff may not be functioning, or the previous fuse has failed.
-
No power to the heating circuit even when the control knob is set correctly.
-
A blown fuse may also indicate other underlying issues, such as faulty thermostat, poor ventilation, or a failing heating element.
