Themal fuse where is the location of the thermal fuse.

My Admiral electric will not start. I have check the door switch, cycling thermostat,push to start button, thermal cut off and the themal fuse with an ohm meter and they are fine. So what could it be and how do I fix it.

Hi and weclome to FixYa, I am Kelly

The oven temp sensor has failed. When the sensor fails the range control unit shuts off the oven. However..... this is a double oven an it should only shut off the oven with the bad temp sensor. If it got super hot...while you were using it and it themally protected itself you may also need a thermal fuse / high temp fuse. IF you can locate the model number and respond here, I will look your model up and see what may have happened.

(I tried to answer your chat but it had already been passed to another expert)

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

The thermal fuse is accessed by takeing the entire back panel off of the dryer. This fuse is a two wire device that is located lower center to slightly right side as you look at the back of the dryer. One of its leads will run to a heating element incased in a metal casing on the back right side of the dryer as you are looking at it from the back. If you have the new one it will be obviouse which one it is. There are other Hi heat thermal devices but they are normally on the shell of the heating element and not on the inside dryer housing. Make sure you turn off the electricity before doing any of this. Also when a themal fuse blows you need to clean out the dryer so there is good air flow. good luck

Unplug
Check your exhuast vent, if it is buily up with lint, clean or replace.
Next remove the wires from the heating element, test with a meter for a complete circuit.
Then remove wires from thermal fuse and test with meter.
Then repeat for any additional themal fuses, should be two total but some units have three,
If one thermal is bad replace both.

Check the NTE catalog of semiconductor cross reference. Look for themal fuses. Look for temprture on origina thermal fuse. Use the exact temp or the next one in line just a few degrees above. Then use the cross ref to order. Chopsticks anyone?

Same issue i believe
with metal part laying flat (ironing position) and looking at bottom side, from the left to the right - white & blue leads, lamp(resistor lead), red then both black leads and other end of lamp.
im guessing the themal fuse is the lamp? what is the PN where can i get it.

i had a small shere fall out of the unit, besides the positioning switch where else would this be located?
Thanks

the dryer circuit will be clearly labelled in the house box, there will be two fuses or a single two phase breaker for this circuit.
there are not usually electrical fuses as such IN a dryer, there are thermostats to regulate temperature, and a thermal fuse, that cuts the power totally to the heat element if air temperature rises above its melt point.
the element itself has a limited life span and may fuse/burnout.
to test electrical components.
Unplug dryer
open case, by removing the front,
described elsewhere in any of the 'changing belt' threads
locate the thermal cutouts, on the fan housing or exhaust duct and disconnect one wire to isolate it from the rest of the circuit, test with ohmmmeter, no-continuity replace, continuity reconnect wire
thermal cuttouts look like these ~1inch accross.

while you have the dryer open de-lint the fan and exhaust ducting, most common cause of element or themal fuse failure is air flow restriction
you get a lot of lint out of the fan even when proper cleaning is done, and clean out the ducting right to the exterior walls
this was the rather extreme result of not cleaning the duct (brainiac placed a wire across the terminals of the burnt out thermal fuse)

You see the other switches next to the thermal fuse? you need to change these too if you have a problem with the themal fuse blowing out repeatedly.

no fuse thermal cut out. small themal disk on back of range. should be closed. if open will need thermal disk and possible vent kit

Yes, I just changed thermal fuse on the same model . . . take off the front door, the front panel and there it is; attached to the vent tube with a flimsy bracket
