My dryer began blowing a fuse during its main cycle. The first time it tripped a fuse, I reset the fuse and tried the dryer again. While it ran, it had no heat for a while. When it did heat up, it blew the fuse again. The maintence technicians at my apartment and my dad all think it’s the heating element–which they say isn’t a hard fix. But when I try to set up a service call, most places want $100 to come out to fix it. One of the maintence techs at my apartment offered to fix it for me if I get the part–but I want to be sure that’s the part I need. So what do you think–does it sound like a heating element to you all? Should I also grab a thermostat just in case?
PS–It’s been busted since MAY, and we’re getting really tired of hanging everything to dry on drying racks!
