XPARTCO 279816 Dryer Thermostat Kit The XPARTCO 279816 is an aftermarket replacement thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat combo kit for Whirlpool-built dryers. These are the dryer's two thermal safety devices, and they're bundled together in this kit because they tend to fail around the same time and share a common cause: restricted airflow that lets heat build up beyond safe levels. The high-limit thermostat is the first line of defense, opening at approximately 250°F (L250-80F) to interrupt heating if the dryer runs too hot. If that isn't enough to bring the temperature back down, the thermal fuse is the final failsafe, opening permanently at approximately 309°F to cut power to the dryer entirely. That's an important distinction between the two parts: the high-limit thermostat is a cycling safety device that can open and close as temperature rises and falls, while the thermal fuse is a one-time device — once it blows, it's done, and the dryer won't run again until it's replaced. This kit includes both components plus mounting screws and a wiring set with a jumper wire and extra terminals, which is used specifically when replacing an older-style thermostat that had a wire pressing directly onto the heating element. A dryer that won't start at all, with no lights or response, usually means the thermal fuse has blown; a dryer that runs but won't heat, or that stops heating partway through a cycle, points more toward the thermostat. It directly replaces 2651, 279816VP, 3399848, 3977393, 3390291, AP3094244, AH334299, EA334299, EAP334299, PD00002348, and PS334299. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 279816 Dryer Thermostat Kit fixes Whirlpool-built dryers that won't start at all, won't heat, or stop heating partway through a cycle. Includes a thermal fuse (opens ~309°F), a high-limit thermostat (opens ~250°F), mounting screws, and a wiring set. Replaces 2651, 279816VP, 3399848, 3977393, 3390291, AP3094244, AH334299, EA334299, EAP334299, PD00002348, PS334299. Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this kit — a blown fuse or tripped thermostat is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new parts are likely to fail again. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button Dryer runs and tumbles but produces no heat Dryer heats for a while, then stops heating partway through a cycle Dryer that stopped working suddenly, especially after running unusually hot Clothes coming out extremely hot right before the dryer stopped heating or stopped entirely Repeated blown fuses or tripped thermostats on a dryer with a known venting restriction Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse or thermostat Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Key Features Complete combo kit — thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, mounting screws, and wiring set in one package Thermal fuse opens at approximately 309°F as a one-time, non-resettable safety cutoff High-limit thermostat opens at approximately 250°F (L250-80F) as a cycling safety device Resolves "won't start at all," "runs but doesn't heat," and "stops heating mid-cycle" symptoms Wiring set includes jumper wire and extra terminals for older-style push-on thermostat connections Replaces 2651, 279816VP, 3399848, 3977393, 3390291, AP3094244, AH334299, EA334299, EAP334299, PD00002348, and PS334299 Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Magic Chef, Roper, Kenmore, and KitchenAid dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Product Specifications Part Number 279816 OEM Part Number 279816 Part Type Dryer Thermal Fuse & High-Limit Thermostat Kit Condition Aftermarket Replacement Kit Contents Thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, mounting screws, wiring set Thermal Fuse Opening Temp Approx. 309°F (one-time, non-resettable) High-Limit Thermostat Opening Temp Approx. 250°F / L250-80F (cycling) Wiring Set Jumper wire + extra terminals for older-style push-on thermostats Quantity 1 kit Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Magic Chef, Roper, Kenmore, KitchenAid Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the blower housing area where both the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat are mounted, usually close together near the heating element or blower assembly. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything, and note whether your old thermostat used a push-on wire connection at the heating element — if so, use the included jumper wire and extra terminals to make the new connection correctly. Remove the mounting screws holding each old component in place and disconnect their wire terminals. Before installing the new parts, test the old fuse and thermostat with a multimeter to confirm which one (or both) is actually open, rather than assuming. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown fuse or tripped thermostat is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new parts are likely to fail again. Install the new thermal fuse and thermostat from this kit in the same mounting positions, reconnect the wire terminals (using the included wiring set if applicable), and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Why does this kit include two different parts instead of just one? The thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat work together as a two-stage safety system, and they're bundled because they commonly fail together — both are reacting to the same underlying overheating condition, usually restricted airflow. The high-limit thermostat trips first at a lower temperature and can cycle open and closed; if that's not enough to control the heat, the thermal fuse trips at a higher temperature and shuts the dryer down permanently until replaced. Replacing both together addresses the full safety chain rather than just one link in it. My dryer won't start at all versus my dryer runs but doesn't heat — which part is which? A dryer with absolutely no response — no lights, no tumbling, nothing — usually points to the thermal fuse, since it's wired to cut power more broadly when it blows. A dryer that tumbles and runs normally but produces no heat, or that starts heating and then stops partway through, points more toward the high-limit thermostat. Testing both components with a multimeter will confirm exactly which one has failed. I replaced both parts and the dryer failed again. What's going on? This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Neither of these parts fails from age; they trip or blow because the dryer overheated. If new parts fail again, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. If airflow checks out and the parts still fail, have the heating element checked as well, since a shorted element can also drive excess heat. Do I need the wiring set included in this kit? Only if your dryer's original thermostat used a wire that pressed directly onto the heating element (an older-style connection) rather than a standard push-on terminal. If your dryer already uses a straightforward terminal connection, you can skip the jumper wire and extra terminals and connect the new thermostat directly. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the opening temperatures, terminal configuration, and mounting positions of the original 279816 thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and related dryers.

WP3392519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse The WP3392519 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM thermal fuse mounted on the blower housing next to the blower fan. This fuse is a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant internal temperatures climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power to the dryer. That's why a blown thermal fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't start at all, with no lights, no tumble, and no response, even though the outlet has power. This fuse opens at approximately 196°F (91°C) and terminates in two 3/16" wire terminals for a direct plug-in fit. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this thermal fuse cannot be reset once it blows — it must be replaced. A blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat is exactly what the fuse is designed to react to. A shorted heating element or a failed regulating thermostat can also cause the dryer to run hot enough to blow the fuse. It directly replaces 3392519, WP3392519VP, AP6008325, 3388651, 694511, ET401, PS11741460, EAP11741460, AH11741460, EA11741460, PD00002311, G4AP0500, and 80005. Quick Answer The WP3392519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Jenn-Air, and Amana dryers that won't start at all — no lights, no tumble, no response to any button. Opens at approximately 196°F (91°C). Two 3/16" wire terminals.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the blower housing where the fuse is mounted. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the wire terminals from the old fuse. Remove the mounting screw holding the fuse in place and pull it free, disconnecting both wire terminals. Before installing the new fuse, test it for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's good out of the box, and test the old one to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new WP3392519 in the same mounting position, reconnect both wire terminals, and secure the mounting screw. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dryer has no power at all and the lights won't turn on. Is this the thermal fuse? It's a strong possibility. When this thermal fuse blows, it cuts power broadly enough that the console lights and control panel can go completely dark, not just the heating function — that's a normal result of how this fuse is wired into the circuit. Before replacing it, confirm the outlet has power and the breaker hasn't tripped, then check the fuse for continuity with a multimeter. If it shows no continuity, this fuse is the correct fix, though it's also worth checking the exhaust ducting since that's the most common underlying cause. I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on? This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long. If airflow checks out and the fuse still blows, have the heating element and cycling thermostat checked as well, since a component stuck in the "on" position can also drive excess heat. Can I just reset the thermal fuse instead of replacing it? No. Unlike a cycling thermostat, this thermal fuse is a one-time safety device — once it blows, its internal circuit is permanently broken and it cannot be reset or repaired. Replacement is the only option. My clothes came out extremely hot right before the dryer died. Is that related? Yes, this is a classic warning sign. Clothes coming out unusually hot indicates the dryer was already running hotter than normal, which is exactly the condition that leads to a blown thermal fuse. If you noticed this before the dryer stopped working, it strongly points to a ventilation or airflow problem that should be fully addressed before running the dryer again. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original opening temperature, terminal configuration, and mounting position of the thermal fuse originally installed in your dryer.

17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor) The 17438200000404 is a Genuine OEM Midea replacement dryer temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with an extensive range of Midea, Criterion, and Insignia electric and gas dryers. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors air temperature inside the dryer and sends resistance-based readings to the control board, which uses this data to regulate heating element cycling, prevent overheating, and maintain consistent drying temperatures throughout the cycle. As the thermistor heats up, its electrical resistance decreases in a predictable way, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time. When this sensor fails — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the dryer may overheat, may not heat at all, may dry clothes unevenly, may take much longer than normal to complete a cycle, or may trigger a not-heating fault on models with digital displays. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications, the 17438200000404 directly replaces WF-123X2060 (an alternate catalog cross-reference used by some suppliers, including for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units). Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The 17438200000404 Genuine OEM Midea Dryer Temperature Sensor (Thermistor) fixes Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers that are overheating, not heating, drying unevenly, or taking too long to dry. NTC thermistor — resistance drops as temperature rises; ~10,000–12,000 ohms at room temperature (70°F). Genuine OEM. Replaces WF-123X2060.

Key Features Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications — guaranteed fit and performance NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor — resistance decreases predictably as temperature rises, allowing precise temperature monitoring Sends real-time temperature data to the control board to regulate heating element cycling and prevent overheating Approximately 10,000–12,000 ohms of resistance at room temperature (around 70°F) when functioning correctly Compatible across both electric and gas Midea-platform dryers, including Criterion and Insignia house-brand models Replaces WF-123X2060 Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number 17438200000404 Part Type Dryer Temperature Sensor (NTC Thermistor) Condition Genuine OEM Application Electric and Gas Dryers (Midea platform) Sensor Type NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) Resistance at Room Temp Approximately 10,000 – 12,000 ohms (~70°F) Location Blower housing/exhaust duct or drum cavity, depending on model Compatible Brands Midea, Criterion, Insignia Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting (Shut Off Gas First on Gas Models) Disconnect power before beginning (and shut off the gas supply first if you have a gas dryer model). Midea dryers typically have 2–3 temperature sensors: an exhaust thermistor on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and on heat pump models, an evaporator thermistor — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and part diagram before starting. Access the sensors by removing the back panel on vented models, or the side/bottom panels on heat pump models. Photograph the connector position before disconnecting. Unplug the old sensor's connector and inspect it for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Remove the mounting clip or screw securing the old sensor and pull it free. Install the new 17438200000404 sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting hardware. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal temperature regulation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing). Frequently Asked Questions How do I test if the temperature sensor (thermistor) has failed? Unplug the dryer, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 70°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10,000 to 12,000 ohms. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If you have multiple sensors testing bad at the same time, check the shared ground wire — a broken ground connection can cause all sensors on that circuit to read as open even if the individual sensors are fine. My Midea dryer has more than one temperature sensor — how do I know which one to replace? Midea dryers typically use 2–3 temperature sensors depending on the model: an exhaust thermistor mounted on the blower housing or exhaust duct, a drum thermistor inside the drum cavity, and — on heat pump/ventless models — an evaporator thermistor in the refrigerant circuit area. The 17438200000404 is used across this Midea/Criterion/Insignia platform, but confirming the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., overheating vs. uneven drying) and model number before ordering will help ensure you're replacing the correct sensor. What is the difference between 17438200000404 and WF-123X2060? These are the same temperature sensor. WF-123X2060 is an alternate catalog cross-reference number used by some parts suppliers for the identical Midea-manufactured thermistor — it appears in listings for compatible Maytag-branded Midea-built units as well as the standard Midea, Criterion, and Insignia models. If your dryer's parts diagram shows either number, the 17438200000404 is the correct part. Does this sensor fit my Insignia or Criterion dryer? Yes — Insignia (Best Buy) and Criterion (Sears/Kmart) are house brands whose dryers in this size and configuration are manufactured by Midea and use the same internal components, including this temperature sensor. Confirmed compatible models include Insignia NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE67WH8A, NSFDRE77WH8B, NSTDRE67W1, NSTDRE75W1 (electric) and NSFDRG67WH8A, NSTDRG67W1, NSTDRG75W1 (gas), as well as Criterion CDE41N1AW (electric) and CDG41N1AW (gas). Always verify your specific model number before ordering. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Midea to factory specifications. It is the exact same NTC thermistor temperature sensor installed in compatible Midea, Criterion, and Insignia dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 8318314 Dryer Thermal Cutoff Fuse (352°F) The XPARTCO 8318314 is an aftermarket replacement 352°F thermal cutoff fuse compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, Inglis, and Estate dryers. The thermal cutoff fuse is a critical safety device mounted near the heating element housing — it acts as a backup safety in case the high-limit thermostat fails to open. When the air temperature inside the heating element area reaches 352°F, the fuse permanently opens and cuts power to the heater circuit, preventing the dryer from continuing to overheat and creating a fire risk. This is a one-time fuse — once it has tripped, it cannot be reset and must be replaced. White and gray metal/ceramic construction. Dimensions: 1-1/4"L x 1-1/4"W x 2-3/16"H, with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes (center to center). It directly replaces 8318314. Important: when the thermal cutoff blows, the high-limit thermostat (8557403 — sold separately) is often also stressed and should be tested or replaced at the same time. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 8318314 Dryer Thermal Cutoff Fuse (352°F) fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, Inglis, and Estate dryers that suddenly stopped heating after an overheat event. One-time fuse — 352°F open, must be replaced once blown. 1-1/4"L x 1-1/4"W x 2-3/16"H, ~1-5/8" between mounting holes. Metal/ceramic. Often replaced alongside the high-limit thermostat (8557403, sold separately). Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer suddenly stopped heating with no warning — thermal cutoff has blown after an overheat event Dryer runs and tumbles normally but produces no heat No-heat fault following a partially blocked exhaust vent or restricted airflow event Multimeter continuity test shows the cutoff has an open circuit (no continuity) Visible damage or discoloration around the thermal cutoff housing from a prior overheat event Repeated no-heat problems where the thermal cutoff has tripped more than once Replaces Part Numbers This thermal cutoff fuse directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: 8318314 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This 352°F thermal cutoff fuse is compatible with select dryers from the following brands: Whirlpool dryers (Elite, Cabrio, Duet, and WED series — select models including WED9200, WED7300, WED7400, WED7600 and related) Maytag dryers (Maxima and MED series — select models including MED3500, MED6000XW, MEDE900VW and related) KitchenAid dryers (select models) Kenmore / Sears dryers — Elite 110-series and related Whirlpool-built models Amana dryers — NED and YNED series (select models including NED7500VW1 and related) Crosley dryers (CED series and related models) Roper dryers (select models) Inglis dryers (select models) Estate dryers (select models) Important — Check Vent Before Restarting: A blown thermal cutoff is almost always the result of restricted dryer airflow. Before replacing this fuse and restoring service, thoroughly clean the dryer's exhaust vent line all the way to the exterior wall outlet, the lint screen, and any internal lint buildup. Installing a new thermal cutoff without fixing the underlying airflow problem will cause the new fuse to blow within a short time, repeating the failure. Key Features 352°F one-time safety fuse — permanently opens to cut power to the heater circuit if the dryer overheats Backup safety device — protects against overheating in case the high-limit thermostat fails to open Cannot be reset — must be replaced once blown Dimensions: 1-1/4"L x 1-1/4"W x 2-3/16"H; approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes (center to center) Metal and ceramic construction in white/gray Often replaced together with the high-limit thermostat (8557403, sold separately) as a paired safety repair Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, Inglis, and Estate dryers Aftermarket replacement built to OEM-equivalent quality standards Quick DIY repair — installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number 8318314 Part Type Dryer Thermal Cutoff Fuse (Safety Fuse) Condition Aftermarket Replacement Application Electric and Gas Dryers (Whirlpool platform) Trip Temperature 352°F Fuse Type One-Time (must be replaced once blown — cannot be reset) Dimensions 1-1/4"L x 1-1/4"W x 2-3/16"H Mounting Hole Spacing Approx. 1-5/8" center to center Color White / Gray Material Metal / Ceramic Often Replaced With High-Limit Thermostat (8557403, sold separately) Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, Inglis, Estate Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Clean Vent System First Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Before installing the new thermal cutoff, thoroughly clean the dryer's vent line — from the lint screen through the duct to the exterior wall outlet, plus any internal lint buildup around the heater housing. A blown thermal cutoff is virtually always caused by restricted airflow; if you don't fix the underlying cause, the new fuse will trip again soon. Access the thermal cutoff by removing the rear (or front, depending on model) access panel of the dryer to expose the heating element housing. The 8318314 thermal cutoff is mounted on or near the heater housing. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old cutoff and remove the mounting screw(s). Install the new 8318314 cutoff in the same position and reconnect the wires. While the panel is open, this is also the ideal time to test or replace the high-limit thermostat (8557403) — overheat events that blow this fuse often damage that component too. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm normal heat operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, multimeter, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between a thermal cutoff, a thermal fuse, and a high-limit thermostat? All three are safety components in a dryer's heating circuit but they serve different roles. The high-limit thermostat (such as 8557403 or 3391914) is a resettable safety switch — it opens when the air gets too hot, then closes again automatically once it cools. The thermal cutoff (8318314, 352°F) is a one-time fuse on the heating element circuit — it blows permanently if the temperature exceeds 352°F, meaning the high-limit thermostat failed to do its job. The thermal fuse (often 3392519) is a separate one-time fuse mounted on the exhaust duct — it blows if exhaust airflow temperature exceeds its rating. Each protects against a different failure mode and is replaced individually when it blows. Why did my thermal cutoff blow in the first place? A blown thermal cutoff is almost always the result of restricted airflow through the dryer. The most common causes are: a clogged or kinked exhaust vent line, a clogged lint screen, lint buildup inside the dryer cabinet near the heater housing, or a failed blower wheel/motor that's not moving enough air. Less commonly, a failed high-limit thermostat (stuck closed) can let the dryer overheat until the thermal cutoff blows as a last-resort safety. Before replacing this part, identify and fix the underlying airflow issue — otherwise the new fuse will blow within a short time. Should I replace the high-limit thermostat at the same time? Yes, it's highly recommended. The thermal cutoff is the second line of defense against overheating — for it to trip, the high-limit thermostat ahead of it likely failed to open at its normal cycling temperature, was stressed by the overheat event, or was already weakened. Replacing the high-limit thermostat (8557403 on many compatible Whirlpool-platform dryers) at the same time is standard practice and ensures both safety components work correctly together. The 279973 kit even bundles a thermal cutoff with a high-limit thermostat for this reason. Can the thermal cutoff be reset like a circuit breaker? No — the 8318314 is a one-time thermal fuse. Once it opens at 352°F, it permanently breaks the electrical circuit and cannot be reset. Some appliance components (like a high-limit thermostat) can reset automatically as they cool, but a thermal cutoff fuse is a single-use safety device by design. If your dryer suddenly stopped heating and a continuity test on this fuse shows an open circuit, it must be replaced. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from metal and ceramic with the same 352°F trip temperature, dimensions (1-1/4"L x 1-1/4"W x 2-3/16"H), and mounting hole spacing (1-5/8" center to center) as the original 8318314 thermal cutoff fuse.
