You might try searching the part at an appliance parts website, using the washer brand name and model number to find an actual part number, which can also lead to a generic part number.

This info can be useful in finding the correct thermal device, OEM or proper generic replacement.

I'm sure of this, because I did the same thing today to find an exact replacement blower wheel for a friend's furnace.. website prices $150+US, eBag price $65 including shipping, for a new wheel. Total time involved.. about 30 minutes, from search start to completed purchase. Delivery expected within 3 days.

Otherwise, visit a parts supplier who supplies appliance/HVAC service/repair folks, and they will likely recognize the part as soon as they see it (or look it up).

Looks like a switch.

Only need to match exact the mount and position if you can't find a direct replacment.

Email " snipped-for-privacy@sensata.com" maybe they can match some numbers.

Andre Majorel Inscribed thus:

Any single pole 120F snap action thermal switch that physically fits into the rubber mounting and having a 16 Amp AC rating will work ok ! From the damage it looks like the drum bearings have failed and the drum edge has cut into the face of the sensor. You might also find that the switch contacts feeding that thermal sensor have welded closed.

Or maybe ZO110A02C1 (zed oh, not zed zero).

It is.

Sensata don't seem to have any with the same form factor. And they're on the wrong side of the Atlantic for me. Which is perhaps why they don't have the part I need.

The klixon is a Siltal part, an Italian white goods manufacturer. But that doesn't tell me who actually made it. This isn't the Siltal logo.

Siltal is out of business and the part is "no longer manufactured". Off to find a generic replacement.

An ohmmeter and a saucepan full of water tell me that it's indeed an NA38, i.e. normally open, closed above 38°C. I would have expected a security thermostat to have a much higher actuating temperature, like 100°C. What is 38°C good for ? Preventing damage to wool/synthetic ?

Thanks everyone.

Klixon made it. It was part of Texas Instruments, but Klixon was sold to Sensata.

You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a Band-Aid? on it, because it's

Not the Klixon logo. It's a klixon, but not from Klixon.

What is a 38°C thermostat for in a washing machine ? Preventing damage to wool/synthetic in case the main temperature control fails ?

I posted this on UK DIY, but you haven't checked your replies.

I believe the Firstline Carrefour washers are made by Haier, a chinese white goods company.

I think this may be your part,
