Whirlpool WP8573713 Genuine OEM Dryer Thermal Cut Off Fuse

This Dryer Thermal Cut Off Fuse is a safety device designed to protect the dryer from overheating. You can use a multimeter to test whether the fuse is still functioning. When replacing a blown thermal fuse, always inspect the dryer vent first. The thermal cut-off fuse is located on top of the burner funnel under the dryer drum, so you'll need to remove the drum from the dryer cabinet to access the old part and replace it. When replacing this component, consider using our high-quality and easy-to-install replacement part. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver, putty knife, and a 5/16" nut driver. It also requires some disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety.
