FAQs

This fuse is compatible with a wide range of dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Kirkland, and Estate. It is designed to fit numerous models, including those within the 110 series and various LER and 3HLER configurations.
This part replaces OEM numbers 3977393, 3399848, 279816, and WP3977393. It also cross-references with AP3094244, AH334299, PS334299, and EAP334299.
The most common symptom is a dryer that runs but fails to produce heat. If your dryer has completely stopped starting or heating, the thermal fuse is a primary component to check. Since this is a safety device, it is designed to blow permanently if the dryer overheats, requiring a replacement to restore function.
A thermal fuse typically blows due to restricted airflow, which causes the dryer to overheat. Before installing the new fuse, it is critical to inspect your dryer's vent hose and the external exhaust duct for lint buildup or blockages. If the airflow remains restricted, the new fuse will likely blow again shortly after installation.
Replacing the thermal fuse is a straightforward repair that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will generally need a screwdriver (often a 1/4-inch nut driver) to remove the dryer's back or front panel, depending on your specific model. Always ensure the dryer is unplugged from the power source before beginning any work.
