The 280148 is a genuine OEM Whirlpool thermal safety kit combining a thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat for comprehensive overheat protection.
The thermal fuse cuts motor power during dangerous temperature spikes, while the thermostat regulates heating element operation to prevent excessive heat.
This dual-protection system resolves drying deficiencies, start failures, temperature extremes, and premature cycle termination across Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef dryers.
Also known as a thermal cut-off or limiter, this OEM kit ensures reliable safety mechanisms and consistent drying performance while protecting your appliance from thermal damage.
