Function & Importance
The WP4451042 thermal fuse plays a critical safety role in your oven. It is designed to cut power to the oven if internal temperatures exceed safe operating limits. This prevents damage to internal components, reduces fire risk, and protects both the appliance and your home. Once a thermal fuse trips due to excessive heat, it cannot be reset and must be replaced to restore oven functionality.
A properly working oven thermal fuse ensures safe temperature regulation and uninterrupted operation of your range.
