Function & Importance
The WP3196548 Thermal Fuse acts as a critical safety device within your oven’s control system. Its primary function is to shut off power to the oven if internal temperatures exceed safe levels, preventing overheating, component damage, and potential fire hazards. Without a properly functioning thermal fuse, your oven may operate unsafely or fail to maintain stable temperatures.
Because it is a one-time-use safety component, the thermal fuse must be replaced if it fails or blows.
Symptoms Indicating the Thermal Fuse Needs Replacement
Your oven may require a new WP3196548 Thermal Fuse if you experience:
-
Oven not heating at all
-
Oven shutting off unexpectedly during use
-
No power to the oven, but stovetop burners still work
-
Visible damage or burned spots on the old fuse
-
Error codes related to overheating or temperature faults
These are common signs that the range thermal fuse has blown and needs replacement to restore safe and proper operation.
