Function & Importance

The microwave thermal cutout acts as a temperature-sensitive safety device. Its primary function is to monitor internal heat levels and automatically interrupt power if the microwave exceeds safe operating temperatures. This prevents damage to internal components, reduces fire risk, and ensures safe operation of the appliance. Without a properly functioning thermal cutout, your microwave may overheat, leading to electrical failures or permanent damage.

The WG02F01628 thermal cutout is especially important in protecting high-heat components such as the magnetron and control circuitry, making it an essential part of your microwave’s safety system.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

You may need to replace the WG02F01628 thermal cutout if you experience any of the following issues:

• Microwave suddenly shuts off during operation

• Appliance will not power on at all

• Unit stops working after heating for a short time

• Repeated tripping without visible electrical issues

These symptoms often indicate that the thermal safety cutout has failed or permanently opened due to excessive heat.
