Question edited for typos and English.
Question moved from Laundry Dryers and Pool and Spa as a wild guess. 'Make model (what it is)' in ALL questions please.
Wild guess, but yes a faulty control board or the connections to it or from it. If it uses a transformer, check power in and out.
I don't go out ant Google peoples machines her. You need to do it, but no heat almost always means a hilimit switch or the element. Both are fairly easy to fix. You need an ohm meter or voltage meter and a battery to check a hi limit switch, bit just your eyes to check an element. Gonna have to pull the back panel off either way. Really not hard. If you see that the element is broken, replace it. If element is not broken, test the limit switches by using an ohm meter, or test it using a battery and low voltage light tester and battery to see if the circuit is open or closed. Closed means the switch is bad and just MAYBE another prob but not likely.
I would check the power to make sure of the polarity, two hots and a ground. Once that checks out ok and still has a problem, check the power cord connections in the dryer, that green wire goes to chasis ground or terminal N, G, and the solid color wires to the line 1 and line 2. If it still trips on PF, then a wiring diagram and tracing the power failure is needed, perhaps a control transformer but its too early to say now. Diagnose.
I am not absolutely certain, but I think your problem may be having to do with your electric service into the house! That means the power company. We have a neighbor that that happened to, and it was a faulty ground wire out at the pole. Your 220 service isn't really 220. It is actually 2 - 110 volt wires going to your dryer and 2 -110 volt wires going to your stove. On each of those appliances, there is also a separate ground wire. Your power company may be resistant to being told your problem is theirs, but it is real. Be blessed.
Disconnect power and set you meter to ohms. Check the both the line side and the low side of the the ****** for continuity. If you cannot get a reading from either side then that puppy is bad. More than likely that is gonna be it since everything quit. If it was the igniter box you might have weak spark etc. I thnk that transformer is your prob.
You need to disconnect the lighting load completely from the transformer and check it's output. If it is dead unloaded, replace the transformer. If it seems to work now, then some part of the lighting circuit has probably shorted out. If there are several circuits coming to the transformer, attach each one separately and recheck for power. When one is attached that kills the output, investigate that circuit. Check for any broken lamps first, then the wiring must be opened at each lamp location to check for a local short circuit. A somewhat tedious fix. Hope this helps!
Turn 4 way (hazard) lights on check to see that all lights are flashing if rear is not flashing suspect bad ground since 4way usually goes through brake light.
If everything flashes you may have a bad flasher relay find it replace it.
If light still will not flash check light socket by removing bulb & looking for burnt melted contacts or plastic. You find any of these problems consider replacing socket.
If you do not find any problems with socket use a cheap test prob connect alligator clip to metal ground near socket with bulb out turn on blinker carefully touch each contact inside socket when you find the right contact prob should light up & blink.
If you cannot get prob to blink move prob ground to new location do step 4 again.
If you still get no blink start probing wires coming into socket until prob lights working away from socket.
Ground is on the side of the socket when you look in it.
What does "control panel has all fuses working" mean?
Are you saying you have an old-fashioned fuse panel in your house, instead of a modern circuit breaker panel?
If so, then I would suspect a bad connection in the panel.
If you indeed have breakers, a breaker can snap into the on and positions and still be bad.
Either problem sounds like it should be handled by a qualified electrician.
The power company or your insurance company would likely reimburse you for all or part of the electrician's bill, but you shoudl call first to be sure.
It's possible to have a faulty neutral connection in your wiring. That can lead to damage of several appliances and bulbs, and even pose a real fire or smoke hazard.
Please do not hesitate to get things fixed when you have home electrical problems!
thermal fuse checked good and replaced anyway
