This Wall Oven Thermal Fuse protects the appliance's controls from damage in the event of a power surge or overheating. This high-quality fuse trips when the controls are not working properly or if the range gets too hot. Note that a multimeter can be used to test the current fuse for continuity before replacing the part. Installing this fuse will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the range, and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker for safety.
