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.
