280148 Dryer Thermal Fuse & High-Limit Thermostat Kit (Thermal Cut-Off Kit, Safety Thermostat Kit, Overload Protection Kit)
280148 Dryer Thermal Fuse & High-Limit Thermostat Kit
The 280148 is a genuine OEM kit for Whirlpool and compatible dryers, including a thermal fuse (opens at ~196°F/91°C) and a high-limit thermostat (opens at ~250°F/121°C). These safety devices prevent overheating by interrupting power to the heating element if temperature limits are exceeded. The kit features precision-calibrated components and includes installation hardware. Typical lifespan is 6–12 years; failures are most often due to restricted airflow, lint buildup, or cycling thermostat failure. Symptoms: dryer won’t heat, shuts off mid-cycle, or overheats. IMPORTANT: Only use OEM kits for correct calibration and safety. CRITICAL: Always disconnect power before servicing. Never bypass either component—these are critical safety devices.
