Just replaced the heating element and still not working. Everything else on the dryer is working fine, it just won't get hot. Saw another post that mentioned the thermal fuse. Where is that, can't find it in the manual. Is it called the thermal cut-off on the parts list? Also, could it be the thermostat? Please help, the clothes are piling up!
Most dryers have a thermal fuse, which burns out when the dryer overheats, in which case the dryer will either not run at all or stop heating. The fuse is usually located on the vent duct, inside the dryer. A blown fuse will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the blower wheel is not broken or clogged, and there is nothing blocking the venting.
Note: It is recommended by most dryer manufacturers to replace a hi-limit thermostat when replacing a thermal fuse.(Thermal cut-off)
