This Part Fixes These Problems

No Heat

Dryer drum spins normally but produces zero heat on any cycle — the blown high limit fuse has interrupted power to the heating element or gas burner.

Won't Start

Dryer is completely unresponsive or buzzes briefly when Start is pressed but the drum does not turn — a blown high limit fuse cuts motor power on some models.

Takes Too Long to Dry

Clothes require two or more full cycles to dry completely, indicating the fuse may be intermittently open or heat output is significantly reduced.

Dryer Overheats / Too Hot

Drum interior or exhaust air is excessively hot before the fuse trips, signaling the high limit safety threshold has been reached and the fuse needs replacement.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Know If Your High Limit Thermal Fuse Is Blown

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Dryer runs but produces no heat at all

⚠️ Dryer will not start — drum stays completely still

⚠️ Dryer starts but buzzes slightly and stops immediately

⚠️ Clothes take multiple cycles to dry (partial blow)

Set your multimeter to continuity mode and probe both terminals of the fuse. A good fuse will beep or show near-zero resistance. If you read infinite resistance (OL), the fuse is open and must be replaced. Important: always investigate the root cause — a clogged exhaust vent or faulty high-limit thermostat is the most common reason this fuse blows. Clean the vent thoroughly before installing the new fuse to prevent repeat failure.

Questions & Answers

Will this fuse work on my Maytag MDG2706AWW gas dryer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. The 40113801 high limit thermal fuse is a confirmed direct replacement for the Maytag MDG2706AWW and many other Maytag gas and electric dryer models. Simply verify your model number against our compatibility list before ordering.
My dryer runs but has no heat — is this the right part to replace?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
A blown high limit thermal fuse is one of the most common causes of a dryer running without heat. We recommend testing the fuse first: set a multimeter to continuity and probe both terminals. If you get no continuity (OL / infinite resistance), the fuse is blown and this part will fix it. Also inspect and clean your exhaust vent to prevent the new fuse from blowing again.
Can this thermal fuse be reset instead of replaced?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
No — the 40113801 is a one-time-use thermal fuse. Once it trips, the internal element is permanently open and it must be physically replaced. There is no reset button or procedure. Always address the root cause (clogged vent, faulty thermostat) before installing the new fuse.
What tools do I need to replace the high limit thermal fuse on a Whirlpool dryer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Most technicians complete this repair with just a Phillips screwdriver to remove the back or front access panel, needle-nose pliers to remove wire terminals, and a multimeter to confirm the old fuse is blown before starting. No specialty tools are required, and the job typically takes 20–40 minutes.
Why did my high limit thermal fuse blow in the first place?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
The most common root cause is restricted airflow — a clogged exhaust vent forces the dryer to overheat until the fuse trips. Other causes include a failed high-limit thermostat (which should have protected the fuse), lint buildup inside the cabinet, or a defective heating element that stays on continuously. Always clean the full vent run and inspect the thermostat before installing the replacement fuse to avoid repeat failures.
