Whirlpool Range Thermal Fuse WP3196548

OEM Whirlpool thermal safety fuse. In an overheat condition, it shuts the appliance down; official Whirlpool repair-parts lists identify the underlying number 3196548 as “Fuse, Thermal.”

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

  • ✔ Range powers on — clock, lights, or controls respond normally
  • ✔ No heating at all — oven, bake, broil, and surface elements all dead
  • ✔ Power supply confirmed OK — breaker not tripped, outlet live
  • ✔ Control board shows no active fault codes for igniter or relay
  • ✔ ONLY problem is complete loss of heat across the entire range

Not sure? Send us your model number — we'll confirm before you order.

🔧 Common Symptoms

  • Oven completely dead — no heat, no preheat, no bake or broil
  • Surface elements also not working (full electrical cutoff)
  • Range powers on but produces zero heat anywhere
  • Fuse visually burned or open-circuit on continuity test
  • Error codes related to thermal protection or over-temperature event
  • Range worked fine then suddenly stopped heating after a high-heat cook cycle

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this thermal fuse restores normal operation immediately.

Part Details

  • Part Number: WP3196548
  • Part Type: Thermal Fuse
  • Manufacturer: Whirlpool
  • Appliance Type: Range
⚠️ Recommended While Repairing:
A thermal fuse blows for a reason — check the oven cooling fan and thermostat before buttoning up. If either is faulty, the new fuse will blow again under the same overtemp condition.

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: MODERATE — 30–45 minutes. Disconnect power at the breaker before starting. Pull the range away from the wall and remove the rear access panel to locate the thermal fuse, typically mounted on the back wall of the oven cavity or near the control board housing. Fuse connectors are push-on spade terminals — no soldering required. Do not bypass or substitute with a higher-rated fuse; this is a safety-critical component.

💡 Pro Tip

Find the Root Cause Before You Replace:
A thermal fuse blows for a reason — it doesn't fail on its own. Before installing the new fuse, check for a blocked oven vent, a failed cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat that allowed temps to spike. Use a multimeter to confirm the old fuse is open-circuit before ordering, and inspect the oven cavity for signs of overheating or scorching.
