A broken fuse means one thing, electric dryer repair. While not everyone is up for the task of tinkering with the electrics of their clothes dryer, for those of you that are, here are some helpful tips on how to replace that pesky blown out fuse.
Thermal Fuse Problems
The fuse–or thermal fuse–will burn out when the dryer overheats. When this happens the dryer will do one of two things: stop heating or stop working.
The fuse can be found on the vent duct inside the dryer. If the fuse is blown, it will show no continuity when measured with a testing meter. Before replacing this, double check to be sure that the blower wheel is not broken or clogged and that the vents are not clogged with any sort of debris, as these too can cause the dryer to malfunction.
