WP53-1182 - Whirlpool Dryer Thermistor

This Whirlpool Dryer Thermistor (WP53-1182) is an authentic part from Whirlpool, specifically designed for their range of dryers. Compatible with Whirlpool models, this safety device is essential for monitoring and controlling the temperature within your appliance. Also known as a thermal fuse, “fuse-thrml,” or simply a 'fuse,' this part plays a critical role in preventing overheating by shutting off the power to the motor if temperatures rise too high. Measuring just over an inch wide and about ¾ inch long, its compact size belies its importance in maintaining the safety and functionality of your dryer. If your dryer fails to start or is not producing heat, a faulty thermistor might be the cause. Symptoms indicating the need for replacement include a dryer that won't start or no longer heats up. Before purchasing, be sure to verify your dryer's model number for compatibility.
