Fuse WE1X21975

The ceramic thermal fuse protects the dryer by cutting power if the unit overheats or experiences an electrical short, preventing potential damage to internal components. When this fuse blows, the dryer may stop running altogether or run without producing heat. A direct replacement designed for select dryer models restores safe operation, but it’s also important to check for underlying issues—such as a clogged vent or faulty heating element—before installing a new fuse. Always disconnect power before servicing.
