Introduction |
Use this guide to test the thermal fuse on your Whirlpool Dryer, and replace it if necessary. | | While this guide is listed as difficult, this is more of a reflection of length, and a few tricky steps, rather than a need for special skills. | | The thermal fuse protects your dryer (and clothes) from overheating. The dryer will not start if the thermal fuse is blown. | | It's easiest to test the fuse while it's in place on the blower housing. Replacement is very simple if the fuse is blown. | | ***This guide will work for most Whirlpool dryers.*** This guide is written with a model WED87HED dryer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same. |
