When to Replace
A failed thermal fuse can cause one or more of the following symptoms:
- Dryer will not start.
- Dryer tumbles but does not produce heat.
- Dryer takes too long to dry clothes.
- Dryer overheats.
- Dryer shuts off mid-cycle.
Installation Tips
- Disconnect the dryer from its power source before beginning any repair.
- Use a multimeter to test the existing fuse for continuity. A lack of continuity indicates the fuse is blown and needs replacement.
- A blown thermal fuse is often caused by a blocked exhaust vent. Before replacing the fuse, inspect and thoroughly clean the dryer's entire venting system, from the lint trap to the exterior vent outlet.
- This is a safety component. If the replacement fuse also fails, identify and correct the underlying overheating issue before operating the dryer again.
