Frigidaire Thermal Limiter 134120900 OEM Part

Frigidaire, in collaboration with its Electrolux brand, produces an array of appliances, including those for Sears-Kenmore. Among the essential components of Frigidaire dryers is the OEM thermal limiter. This part plays a vital role in regulating the dryer's internal temperature, preventing it from rising beyond safe thresholds. Found either on the heating element or within the blower wheel housing, the thermal limiter is designed to cut off power to the heating element if temperatures become excessively high, thereby mitigating the risks of overheating, including potential fires or damage to the appliance.

Should the thermal limiter fail or cease to function properly, the dryer risks overheating, which could result in safety hazards or additional harm to the machine. A blown thermal fuse will inhibit the dryer from operating, and unlike other parts, it cannot be reset; replacement is essential.

Replacing the thermal fuse effectively addresses several common issues, including:
- Unexpected shutdowns
- Significant overheating
- Prolonged drying cycles
- Inability to start
- Insufficient heating

Opting to replace the thermal fuse promptly resolves these concerns, ensuring the dryer remains both efficient and secure.
