4071389698 Genuine Temperature Limiter Fuse for Electrolux Group Appliances, Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Replacement

When an appliance stops dead after overheating, a blown temperature limiter fuse is often the reason. Part 4071389698 is the genuine Electrolux fuse, a one-time safety device that cuts power if a part gets too hot. Electrolux's description doesn't name the appliance or the temperature rating, so the number is your best match. Check the number or markings on the fuse you're replacing before ordering, and send us your model and product number if you'd like us to confirm.

Why a temperature limiter fuse blows

Thermal fuses protect heaters, motors and pumps from overheating. When the temperature at the fuse goes past its rating, it opens permanently and the circuit stops working. That usually means the appliance, or one function of it, stops dead, for example no heat or a motor that won't run. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom as much as a fault. Something made it overheat, such as a stuck relay, blocked airflow or a failing element, and that cause needs finding before the new fuse goes in.

Fitting the temperature fuse

Isolate the appliance at the wall socket or circuit breaker first. Note exactly where the old fuse is mounted, as the new one must sit in the same spot to sense the right temperature. Use the same connection method as the original, usually crimped or screw terminals, and don't solder unless the part is designed for it. Never bypass a thermal fuse, even for testing.

Can I bridge the fuse to get my appliance going?
