Function and Importance 

The WP3399849 thermal fuse plays a critical role in dryer safety. It is located on the blower housing or exhaust duct, where it detects overheating. If excessive heat is detected, the fuse will blow, cutting power to the heating element and preventing further operation until it’s replaced. This protects your dryer from damage and reduces the risk of potential fire hazards.

Common Signs You Need to Replace This Part 

If your dryer is experiencing any of these symptoms, you may need to replace the thermal fuse:

• Dryer won’t start or power up
• Dryer runs but produces no heat
• Dryer shuts off mid-cycle due to overheating
• A failed continuity test when troubleshooting the fuse

Replacing the WP3399849 Dryer Thermal Fuse is an essential and cost-effective step to restore both the functionality and safety of your appliance.
