Einleitung
Use this guide to replace the thermal fuse on a Whirlpool Dryer WGD4800XQ. A thermal fuse is an essential part of a dryer because it prevents fires by detecting when the dryer is overheating and shutting it down. Through normal wear and tear, a thermal fuse can overheat and fail, causing the dryer to stop producing heat.
Before starting your repair, it is important to unplug the dryer. Failure to do so can cause an electric shock while replacing the thermal fuse. While repairing the thermal fuse, be careful not to step on the gas pipe if the dryer is connected to your house's main gas line. This can cause a gas leak if the gas pipe is broken.
