Additional Information

This Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse replaces part number 3392519 and is an essential maintenance item for maintaining the safe operation of your dryer. Regular checking and prompt replacement of a faulty thermal fuse can prevent potential overheating and thereby enhance the longevity of your appliance. The thermal fuse is a one-time use part, so if it trips, it means that it has performed its function correctly and needs to be replaced.

It's just a fuse. The website was easy to navigate. The tutorial was great and explained the process clearly to determine what part was needed. The parts page had the fuse highlighted as a most common problem. Shipping was fast, the part was not too expensive. ALL GOOD! It needed a cleaning anyway.

Take that extra step

Straightforward in the replacement. Make sure you take the wires off the old one before removing and place it on the new one then install the new one. Ensure that you clean all shoots and the fan section before replacing this particular sensor and it is a good idea to blow out and vacuum out the machine totally.
