It could be the thermal fuse (Item 7 in Section 3)

Unplug the unit and check the fuse with a meter should be 0 ohms.

Jiggery Pokery method is.
Unplug the unit.
Remove both wires from the fuse, short them together and tape them up so they will not short to the frame.
Plug the unit in and give it a try.

If blown, replace the fuse ASAP as it is a critical safety device re: prevents lint fires which can turn into house fires.

Also clean/check your vent system and the blower as these are the most common causes of it blowing.

Wayne just want to say the Jiggery Pokery method given worked for me.
Thanks denman! Wife always wants to run and buy new one when something stops running…I like the 10 dollar fixes!:slight_smile:
