Details
This thermal fuse safeguards your dryer by interrupting the electrical circuit if temperatures exceed safe levels—opening around 196 °F (approximately 91 °C). It plays a vital role in preventing overheating, equipment damage, and potential fire hazards by monitoring heat within the dryer’s exhaust system. Positioned in series with the heating element, it halts operation immediately when needed, ensuring reliable protection for continued use.
