Dryer Thermal Fuse

The WP40113801 Thermal Fuse is a single-use safety device in clothes dryers. It interrupts the heating circuit if the internal temperature exceeds safe limits, preventing overheating and reducing fire risk.

Key Features:

• Opens (cuts electrical continuity) at a rated temperature threshold (approximately 300 °F / 149 °C)

• Compact, lead-type fuse body designed for integration into the heater housing or duct path

• Low-resistance electrical connection during normal operation to minimize voltage drop

• No reset function — must be replaced after activation

• Rated for standard dryer voltage and heating load currents

• Fits many Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, and related dryer models that accept 40113801 or WP40113801 as the thermal fuse replacement
