If your GE range won't start, produces no heat, or shuts off unexpectedly, a blown thermal fuse is one of the most common and affordable causes. Part number WG02F00564 is the OEM thermal fuse for compatible GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, Café, Monogram, and Profile ranges — a small but critical safety component that protects your control board and electronic circuits from damage caused by overheating or power surges. When this fuse blows, it interrupts the circuit and prevents the range from operating until it is replaced.

The WG02F00564 thermal fuse is a one-time-use safety device installed in the control circuit of your GE range. It is designed to blow — permanently opening the circuit — if the temperature in the control area exceeds a safe threshold. This protects expensive control boards and wiring from heat damage. Once blown, the fuse must be replaced; it cannot be reset. Before replacing, always test the fuse for continuity with a multimeter and identify the root cause of the overheating to prevent repeat failures. WG02F00564 supersedes earlier part numbers WG02F11616 and WB27M02966.

• Range won't start when controls are pressed
• Oven not heating despite correct temperature settings
• Burners not igniting or surface elements not working
• Range shuts off unexpectedly mid-cook
• Control panel unresponsive after a power surge or overheating event

✓ Installation Tips

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker before beginning any repair
• The thermal fuse is typically located near the control board or in the rear control panel area — location varies by model
• Test the existing fuse with a multimeter set to continuity — no continuity confirms the fuse is blown
• Before replacing, identify and address the root cause of overheating to prevent the new fuse from blowing again
• Disconnect the two wire leads from the old fuse and connect them to the new WG02F00564 in the same orientation
• No special tools required — a basic screwdriver and multimeter are sufficient
• Restore power and test the range for normal operation

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my thermal fuse is blown?
Use a multimeter set to continuity mode. Touch the probes to each terminal of the fuse. A good fuse will beep (continuity present); a blown fuse will show no continuity. If the fuse is blown, replace it with WG02F00564. Contact us if you need help with diagnosis.

Can a thermal fuse be reset?
No — thermal fuses are one-time-use safety devices. Once blown, they must be replaced. They cannot be reset or repaired.

What causes a thermal fuse to blow?
The most common causes are a blocked vent, a failing cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a power surge. Always identify and fix the root cause before installing a new fuse, or the replacement fuse may blow again.

Will this fuse fit my Kenmore or Hotpoint range?
Yes — WG02F00564 is compatible with ranges sold under the GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, Café, Monogram, Profile, Westinghouse, Moffat, and McClary brands. Check the Compatible Models section above or contact us to confirm fit for your specific model.

Is this the same as WG02F11616 or WB27M02966?
Yes — WG02F00564 is the current OEM part number that supersedes both WG02F11616 and WB27M02966. All three refer to the same thermal fuse application.
