Dryer won’t start.
Tested Thermal Fuse with ohm meter and is the problem.

When changing the Thermal fuse, should I also change the High limit thermostat?? Or something else?

  • The vent was completely clear so that was not the cause.

Thank you

No, hi limit should not need replacing however the operating thermostat may need replacing. Did you check the dryer internal venting? Inside the blower housing, heater box, exhaust vent, heat intake duct? Check blower seal and drum seals?

I did check and found no other obstructions. Looked fine otherwise.

I will replace thermostat. Anything else as long as I am replacing these 2 parts?

Thank you

Dryer thermistor ??

Yes, sorry, I didn’t check the tech sheet. This dryer uses a thermistor.
