LA-1053 Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse Kit
This Dryer Thermostat Kit contains the high limit thermostat and the thermal fuse. If your dryer does not heat then the thermal fuse may have blown and will need to be replaced. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Helpful tip: The thermal fuse often blows when the exhaust vent gets clogged with lint. The vent should be cleaned once a year especially if it is longer than 15'.

Replacing the Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Fuse Kit
1. Begin by unplugging the electrical cord of your dryer from the wall outlet.
2. Next, remove the back panel of your dryer where you’ll see the thermal fuse kit. You may need to remove some screws in order to gain access to the thermal fuse kit.
3. Once you have access to the thermal fuse kit, locate the two wires going to the kit. These will be connected to two screws.
4. Disconnect the two wires from the two screws.
5. Take the new thermal fuse and carefully insert it into the slot so that it fits snugly.
6. After the new thermal fuse is in place, reconnect the two wires back to the two screws.
7. Finally, replace the back panel of your dryer and plug the electrical cord back into the wall outlet.
Your Whirlpool dryer should now have a new thermal fuse kit installed and be ready for use.
Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
