Luke, before doing this, please disconnect your dryer from the electrical service. With the back panel removed...The thermal fuse is located on the blower housing, (lower left) and is white in color. If you have a multimeter, remove one of the 2 wires and check OHMS. If you read continuity, it's good. If it checks OK, go to your element can. There are two t'stats there on the left above the connectors for the element, check those the same as the thermal fuse. If any of these tests show anything other than OHMS, that's the problem. DOING THIS IS DANGEROUS. EXERCISE CAUTION. If you don't have a multimeter, you can pull both wires off of each of the t'stats individually and connect them together... essentially bypassing them one at a time. Then plug the dryer in and test it. If there is heat, you have isolated the faulty component. Let us know what you find.

SOURCE: I have replaced the heating

okay, sounds like it should. I would check the outlet to ensure I have the 220 volts, if I don't then this is the problem. If I have the 220 volts then i would remove the vent hose and feel if there is any hot air coming out. If not then I would say it may be something in the controls and would investigate behind the controls for a loose or burnt wire. Hope this helps Tim

You need to replace the operating thermostat along with the thermal fuse. This thermostat controls temperature in the drum and if it fails, it will just put out heat constantly without regard to temperature. Be sure to check the exhaust vent in the house walls to make sure they're cleaned. Good luck

Hot point dryer running very hot after replacing thermal fuse and thermostat
If your Hotpoint dryer is running very hot after you replaced the thermal fuse and thermostat, it's possible that there is an issue with the heating element. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the heating element: The heating element is responsible for heating the air inside the dryer. Over time, it can become damaged or break, which can cause the dryer to run very hot. To check the heating element, unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the element. Use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If there is no continuity, the heating element is faulty and will need to be replaced.
  2. Check the cycling thermostat: The cycling thermostat is responsible for regulating the temperature inside the dryer. If it is not functioning properly, it can cause the dryer to run too hot. Use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If there is no continuity, the thermostat is faulty and will need to be replaced.
  3. Check the airflow: Restricted airflow can also cause the dryer to run too hot. Make sure that the vent hose is not kinked or blocked and that the lint filter is clean. Check the outside vent hood to make sure that it is not clogged with lint or debris.
  4. Check the control board: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with the control board. This will require further diagnosis and possibly replacement of the control board.
If you are not comfortable troubleshooting or repairing the dryer yourself, it's recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.

You seem to have checked everything. Did you check there is voltage to the elements, and have you checked amp usage on elements? Sometimes things check out ok but the problems shows when power is passed through the element itself.

Dryer wont heat, replaced thermal cut off and it worked for maybe5 minutes and then it quit heating and now there is no continuity on the new thermal cutoff...I was wondering if there could be a short
The most likely cause of the thermal fuse blowing out again is either a grounded element or a clogged vent. I am assuming you have an electric dryer. If so, unplug the dryer and find the terminals to the element. Remove one of the wires to the terminals and use an ohmmeter/continuity meter to check between the chassis ground and one of the terminals on the element. You should not read any continuity. If you read a short, then the element is grounding out to the chassis. Replace the element.
If the element is okay, then the vent is probably clogged. After replacing your blown thermal fuse with a good thermal fuse, unhook the vent hose off the back of your dryer and run your dryer through a full cycle. If it doesn't blow the fuse, it's your vent and you'll need to clean it out and make sure no birds built a nest in there. If your thermal fuse still blows, replace all of your thermostats.

Good luck!

Hi I just replaced the element on my hotpoint aquarius it work fine for about 10 minutesthen just went to cold air I checked the element and it seems fine what else could cause this to happen.
Check your thermal fuse. Also, the upper limit thermostat could have taken a nose dive. Another culprit could be the centrifugal switch on the motor, but that's pretty rare. Also, make sure your vent hose and venting system to the outside is clear of any obstructions. That's usually the reason why elements and thermal fuses burn out.

Good luck!

Our 8 year old kenmore dryer won't do anything when you press the start button. We don't hear even a hum. It worked one day and then just wouldn't start the next day. We checked the fuse box...
Here is a good link for basic troubleshooting... But 10 to one the culprit is a thermal fuse or thermal cut off.... they are usually pretty cheap and easy to replace....

http://www.partselect.com/dryer+dryer-wont-start+repair.htm

One final note on these: if you find your thermal fuse\cut off (or element) open, before replacing it, be sure to check the airflow out your dryer's vent system. Even though these devices do 'wear out' with age, poor airflow's the #1 cause of failure of these devices, and if your vent's partially clogged, a new thermal won't last very long, but will do its job again, and leave you 'cold' (a new element won't last long if the vent's clogged, either).

Will not heat
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.

A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.

Note: It is recommended by most dryer manufacturers to replace a hi-limit thermostat when replacing a thermal fuse.

Dryer blowing cold
Check the following to address this issue.


Heating element
A burned out heating element will show no continuity when measured with a meter. Replace the element if found defective.

A heating element might only be partially burned out, in which case it would still work but will take longer time to dry the clothes. Replace the element if found defective.


Thermal fuse
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.

Gorenje Tumble Dryer WT 881 - how do I replace heating element fuse?
I would start with house fuses or breakers, if breakers then turn breakers off then back on several times then try the dryer again. Then I would check the cord where it connects to the dryer. After that I would start checking elements, thermal overloads/cutoffs, etc. most dryers have several normally closed t'stat/ overloads and a thermal fuse. If the thermal fuse or cutoff is blown you also need to check your venting. these safety fuses are not resettable and are usually an indication that the vent may be clogged and/or obstructed.

No heat
The most common cause of no heat to an otherwise functioning dryer is failure of the thermal cutout.
As well as the electric line fuses in the circuit there are devices that look like this 13889aa.jpg or this 284f4e0.jpg screwed to the exhaust air duct with wires to the terminals
, inside the dryer. If there is a lint blockage in the duct or fan or outside vent hood, the air tempoerature rises and melts out this thermal cutout (also thermal fuse, heat protector, heat cutout & any other names different makers use) before causing a fire.
Test with an ohmmeter or battery and lamp bulb, conducts good, no conducts fail-replace.
Despite the number of models of dryer there are only a few thermal fuses, and the local parts guy WILL have the blown one on the shelf, as GE if not as roper part.

Whil the dryer case is opened is a good time to vacuum out the exhaust vents, fan impeller, and vent hood. ounce of prevention and all that
