XPARTCO 675813 Dishwasher Thermal Fuse
The XPARTCO 675813 is an aftermarket replacement bimetal thermal fuse (TCO — thermal cut-off) kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dishwashers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Roper, and Admiral. The thermal fuse is a one-time safety device located on or near the control board that monitors internal temperature. If the dishwasher overheats — due to a blocked vent, malfunctioning heating element, or other fault — the fuse permanently interrupts power to protect the dishwasher and prevent fire hazards.
Unlike a resettable thermostat, a blown thermal fuse must be replaced. Once it trips, the dishwasher will show no power and will not start. The kit includes one thermal cutoff fuse with a 2-wire harness (leads extending approximately 18 inches from the fuse), one zip tie, and installation instructions. The fuse body measures 1-1/16" L x 1" W x 7/16" H. The new wiring harness must always be used when replacing the fuse. Installs in 5–15 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug or Switch Off Breaker Before Starting Unplug the dishwasher or turn off the circuit breaker before beginning any repair. The thermal fuse is located inside the dishwasher door panel near the control board. Open the dishwasher door and remove all screws from the inner door panel — a Torx bit is typically required on Whirlpool-family models. Carefully lift the inner door panel to expose the control board housing. Remove the black plastic cover over the control board to access the thermal fuse — it is typically on the right side of the board with one wire connected to each terminal. Test the old fuse with a multimeter for continuity (no continuity confirms the fuse has blown). Disconnect the old fuse and its harness. Connect the new 675813 fuse using the new 2-wire harness included in the kit — do not reuse the old harness. Secure the harness with the included zip tie. Reinstall the control board cover, inner door panel, and all screws. Restore power and run a test cycle. Note: If the fuse blows again after replacement, an underlying cause such as a blocked vent, failed heating element, or faulty control board should be diagnosed before replacing the fuse a second time. Tools needed: Torx screwdriver (T15 or T20), Phillips screwdriver, multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dishwasher thermal fuse do?
The thermal fuse is a one-time safety device that monitors the internal temperature of the dishwasher. If the temperature rises above the safe operating limit — 98°C in this case — the fuse permanently interrupts the electrical circuit, cutting all power to the dishwasher. This protects both the appliance and your home from fire hazard caused by overheating. Unlike a resettable thermostat, a blown thermal fuse cannot be reset and must be physically replaced.
How do I know if my thermal fuse has blown?
The most obvious sign is a completely dead dishwasher — no lights, no sounds, and no response when you press any buttons, even though the outlet has power. You can confirm a blown fuse with a multimeter: disconnect the fuse from the harness and test for continuity across its two terminals. A working fuse will show continuity (near-zero resistance); a blown fuse will show no continuity (open circuit). If the fuse tests bad, replace it with the 675813 kit.
Why did my thermal fuse blow, and will it happen again?
Thermal fuses blow when the dishwasher overheats. Common causes include a blocked air vent, a malfunctioning or shorted heating element, a failed thermostat, or an electrical fault in the control board. If you simply replace the fuse without addressing the root cause, it may blow again. After replacing the fuse, run the dishwasher and monitor for any unusual heat, steam, or burning smell. If the fuse blows again, have the underlying fault diagnosed before ordering another replacement.
Why must I use the new harness and not the old one?
When a thermal fuse blows, the wiring harness connected to it may have been exposed to the same overheating event that tripped the fuse. The wires or connectors may have degraded or partially melted even if they appear intact. Using the old harness risks a poor connection or a recurring fault. Always install the new 2-wire harness included in the kit to ensure a reliable, safe connection.
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 plastic to match the dimensions, trip temperature, and performance of the original 675813 thermal fuse.

XPARTCO EXP20AG Glass Line Fuse, Fast Blow, 20A
The XPARTCO EXP20AG is an aftermarket replacement fast-blow glass line fuse rated 20A at 250V, used as the primary overcurrent protection component in microwaves and a range of other household appliances. A line fuse sits directly in the incoming power path: as long as current draw stays within its rating, it does nothing at all, but the instant a short circuit or an overcurrent condition pushes current past 20A, the thin wire element inside the fuse melts and opens the circuit — sacrificing itself to protect the more expensive components downstream, like a transformer, magnetron, or control board. A blown fuse is why an appliance can go from working normally to completely dead with no lights, no display, and no response to any button.
This is a standard-dimension glass cartridge fuse measuring 6mm x 30mm, fast-blow (fast-acting) rated, so it opens quickly once its rating is exceeded rather than tolerating a brief surge the way a slow-blow fuse would. It is commonly used across GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Kenmore, and other brands' microwaves, and also turns up in HVAC control boards and various small appliances that use this same standard fuse size and rating. A fuse itself does not wear out from age the way a mechanical part does — if one has blown, it is a symptom of an overcurrent event somewhere else in the appliance, and it's worth understanding why before simply swapping in a new one.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EXP20AG Glass Line Fuse fixes microwaves and other appliances that have gone completely dead — no lights, no display, no response to any button. Fast-blow, 20A, 250V, standard glass cartridge, 6mm x 30mm. Commonly used across GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and Kenmore microwaves and other appliances requiring this fuse size and rating. If a new fuse blows again right away, don't just keep replacing it — that almost always means there's an underlying short circuit that needs to be diagnosed first.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave completely dead — no display, no lights, no response to any button
Appliance suddenly stopped working with no warning
Microwave won't start even though the outlet has power
HVAC control board or other appliance electronics unresponsive
Appliance tripped off after a power surge or brownout
Visible blown or darkened fuse when inspected against a light
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This glass line fuse directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:
EXP20AG, AGC20, GMA20, 20AG, 5304509451, AP6230606, PS12071294, 5304488359, AP5648907, PS5136235, 5304464087
Because this is a standard fuse size and rating rather than a brand-specific component, the exact OEM part number your appliance's manual references will vary. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This fuse is compatible with select appliances from the following brands that use a standard 20A, 250V, fast-blow 6mm x 30mm glass cartridge fuse:
GE and Hotpoint microwaves (select models)
Frigidaire microwaves (select models)
Whirlpool and Kenmore microwaves (select models)
KitchenAid, Maytag, and Amana microwaves (select models)
Select HVAC control boards and other electronics using this fuse size and rating
Note — glass vs. ceramic body: This is the glass-body EXP20AG fuse. A visually similar ceramic-body fuse (commonly labeled EXP20A) is also widely sold at the same 20A/250V rating for many of the same appliances. Check which body material your appliance's original fuse used before ordering, and always match the amperage and voltage rating exactly — never substitute a higher-amperage fuse "to stop it from blowing," since that removes the very protection the fuse is designed to provide. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which fuse your appliance needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Microwave High-Voltage Capacitor If you are replacing this fuse in a microwave, be aware that microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can store a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit has been unplugged. Never open a microwave's cabinet without first discharging the capacitor using an insulated screwdriver shorted across its terminals, and never touch the capacitor or its terminals directly. If you are not fully comfortable with this step, have a qualified appliance technician perform the fuse replacement instead.
⚠️ Unplug The Appliance Before Starting — Match Amperage And Voltage Exactly Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Locate the fuse holder — on most microwaves this is accessible after removing the outer cabinet, often near the incoming power cord or the control board. Remove the old fuse from its clip or holder and inspect it: a blown fast-blow fuse often shows a visibly darkened or broken filament, or a scorched glass body. Test with a multimeter set to continuity if the fuse looks intact but you suspect it's still bad — a good fuse shows continuity end to end, a blown one shows none. Install the new EXP20AG fuse in the same holder, making sure the amperage and voltage rating match your appliance's original fuse exactly. Reassemble the cabinet, restore power, and test the appliance. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, insulated screwdriver (for microwave capacitor discharge), multimeter (recommended), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
I replaced the fuse and it blew again right away. What's going on?
A fuse doesn't fail on its own from age — it blows because something downstream drew more current than it should have. If the new fuse blows again immediately, that's a strong sign of an underlying short circuit or a failing component such as the transformer, magnetron, or a shorted capacitor. Continuing to replace the fuse without finding that root cause will just keep blowing new fuses, and in a microwave specifically, that diagnosis involves working near a high-voltage capacitor that should only be handled by someone comfortable discharging it safely, or by a qualified technician.
Can I use a higher-amperage fuse if this one keeps blowing?
No — this is one of the most important things to avoid with any fuse. The fuse's rating is chosen specifically to protect the wiring and components in the circuit it sits in. Installing a higher-amperage fuse "so it stops blowing" removes that protection and can allow a fault to overheat wiring or damage expensive components (or start a fire) instead of safely interrupting the circuit. Always replace a fuse with the same amperage and voltage rating as the original.
How do I know if the fuse is actually blown?
Visually, a blown fast-blow fuse often shows a broken or darkened filament inside the glass body, or scorching on the glass itself. If it looks fine but you still suspect it, the reliable way to check is with a multimeter set to continuity (with the appliance unplugged and the fuse removed from the circuit) — a good fuse reads continuity end to end, while a blown fuse reads open with no continuity at all.
Is EXP20AG the same as EXP20A?
They share the same 20A/250V rating, but EXP20AG refers to the glass-body version of this fuse while EXP20A commonly refers to a ceramic-body version sold for many of the same appliances. Check which body material your appliance's original fuse used, and if you're not sure, contact our support team with your model number for confirmation.

XPARTCO EXP20AG - 5 Pack Glass Line Fuse, Fast Blow, 20A
The XPARTCO (5 Pack) EXP20AG is an aftermarket replacement fast-blow glass line fuse rated 20A at 250V, used as the primary overcurrent protection component in microwaves and a range of other household appliances. A line fuse sits directly in the incoming power path: as long as current draw stays within its rating, it does nothing at all, but the instant a short circuit or an overcurrent condition pushes current past 20A, the thin wire element inside the fuse melts and opens the circuit — sacrificing itself to protect the more expensive components downstream, like a transformer, magnetron, or control board. A blown fuse is why an appliance can go from working normally to completely dead with no lights, no display, and no response to any button.
This is a standard-dimension glass cartridge fuse measuring 6mm x 30mm, fast-blow (fast-acting) rated, so it opens quickly once its rating is exceeded rather than tolerating a brief surge the way a slow-blow fuse would. It is commonly used across GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Kenmore, and other brands' microwaves, and also turns up in HVAC control boards and various small appliances that use this same standard fuse size and rating. A fuse itself does not wear out from age the way a mechanical part does — if one has blown, it is a symptom of an overcurrent event somewhere else in the appliance, and it's worth understanding why before simply swapping in a new one.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EXP20AG Glass Line Fuse fixes microwaves and other appliances that have gone completely dead — no lights, no display, no response to any button. Fast-blow, 20A, 250V, standard glass cartridge, 6mm x 30mm. Commonly used across GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and Kenmore microwaves and other appliances requiring this fuse size and rating. If a new fuse blows again right away, don't just keep replacing it — that almost always means there's an underlying short circuit that needs to be diagnosed first.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave completely dead — no display, no lights, no response to any button
Appliance suddenly stopped working with no warning
Microwave won't start even though the outlet has power
HVAC control board or other appliance electronics unresponsive
Appliance tripped off after a power surge or brownout
Visible blown or darkened fuse when inspected against a light
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This glass line fuse directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:
EXP20AG, AGC20, GMA20, 20AG, 5304509451, AP6230606, PS12071294, 5304488359, AP5648907, PS5136235, 5304464087
Because this is a standard fuse size and rating rather than a brand-specific component, the exact OEM part number your appliance's manual references will vary. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This fuse is compatible with select appliances from the following brands that use a standard 20A, 250V, fast-blow 6mm x 30mm glass cartridge fuse:
GE and Hotpoint microwaves (select models)
Frigidaire microwaves (select models)
Whirlpool and Kenmore microwaves (select models)
KitchenAid, Maytag, and Amana microwaves (select models)
Select HVAC control boards and other electronics using this fuse size and rating
Note — glass vs. ceramic body: This is the glass-body EXP20AG fuse. A visually similar ceramic-body fuse (commonly labeled EXP20A) is also widely sold at the same 20A/250V rating for many of the same appliances. Check which body material your appliance's original fuse used before ordering, and always match the amperage and voltage rating exactly — never substitute a higher-amperage fuse "to stop it from blowing," since that removes the very protection the fuse is designed to provide. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which fuse your appliance needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Microwave High-Voltage Capacitor If you are replacing this fuse in a microwave, be aware that microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can store a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit has been unplugged. Never open a microwave's cabinet without first discharging the capacitor using an insulated screwdriver shorted across its terminals, and never touch the capacitor or its terminals directly. If you are not fully comfortable with this step, have a qualified appliance technician perform the fuse replacement instead.
⚠️ Unplug The Appliance Before Starting — Match Amperage And Voltage Exactly Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Locate the fuse holder — on most microwaves this is accessible after removing the outer cabinet, often near the incoming power cord or the control board. Remove the old fuse from its clip or holder and inspect it: a blown fast-blow fuse often shows a visibly darkened or broken filament, or a scorched glass body. Test with a multimeter set to continuity if the fuse looks intact but you suspect it's still bad — a good fuse shows continuity end to end, a blown one shows none. Install the new EXP20AG fuse in the same holder, making sure the amperage and voltage rating match your appliance's original fuse exactly. Reassemble the cabinet, restore power, and test the appliance. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, insulated screwdriver (for microwave capacitor discharge), multimeter (recommended), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
I replaced the fuse and it blew again right away. What's going on?
A fuse doesn't fail on its own from age — it blows because something downstream drew more current than it should have. If the new fuse blows again immediately, that's a strong sign of an underlying short circuit or a failing component such as the transformer, magnetron, or a shorted capacitor. Continuing to replace the fuse without finding that root cause will just keep blowing new fuses, and in a microwave specifically, that diagnosis involves working near a high-voltage capacitor that should only be handled by someone comfortable discharging it safely, or by a qualified technician.
Can I use a higher-amperage fuse if this one keeps blowing?
No — this is one of the most important things to avoid with any fuse. The fuse's rating is chosen specifically to protect the wiring and components in the circuit it sits in. Installing a higher-amperage fuse "so it stops blowing" removes that protection and can allow a fault to overheat wiring or damage expensive components (or start a fire) instead of safely interrupting the circuit. Always replace a fuse with the same amperage and voltage rating as the original.
How do I know if the fuse is actually blown?
Visually, a blown fast-blow fuse often shows a broken or darkened filament inside the glass body, or scorching on the glass itself. If it looks fine but you still suspect it, the reliable way to check is with a multimeter set to continuity (with the appliance unplugged and the fuse removed from the circuit) — a good fuse reads continuity end to end, while a blown fuse reads open with no continuity at all.
Is EXP20AG the same as EXP20A?
They share the same 20A/250V rating, but EXP20AG refers to the glass-body version of this fuse while EXP20A commonly refers to a ceramic-body version sold for many of the same appliances. Check which body material your appliance's original fuse used, and if you're not sure, contact our support team with your model number for confirmation.
