Why the Thermal Fuse Is Important for Your Dryer
The thermal fuse acts as a safety switch that detects high temperatures and shuts off the dryer to prevent overheating. If this fuse blows, the dryer will either stop heating or won’t turn on at all. Over time, excessive lint buildup, restricted airflow, or worn-out heating elements can cause the fuse to fail, making replacement necessary.
Signs You Need to Replace Your SET401 Thermal Fuse
- Dryer won’t start – A blown thermal fuse can cut power to the dryer.
- No heat or insufficient heating – The dryer may run but won’t generate heat, leading to damp clothes after a cycle.
- Dryer shuts off mid-cycle – A faulty thermal fuse can cause the dryer to stop unexpectedly.
- Burning smell or excessive heat – If the dryer is overheating, the thermal fuse may be damaged.
- Frequent fuse failures – If the thermal fuse keeps blowing, it’s a sign of airflow issues or clogged vents.
