Cooktop Fuses

This thermal fuse is a critical safety component designed to cut power to the heating element if temperatures exceed safe limits, preventing overheating and reducing the risk of fire. It works by breaking the electrical circuit when excessive heat is detected, protecting the appliance from damage. A blown fuse can cause the range or oven to stop heating entirely. This is a single-use device and must be replaced once it fails. For safety, always unplug the appliance or shut off the circuit breaker before installation.

When the fuse trips due to a malfunction in the oven this part will trip and shut down your oven controller. It is usually located behind your control panel.
