Check the exhaust duct for blockage, clean the lint trap housing, and test the cycling thermostat before closing up.

The thermal fuse is located on the exhaust duct inside the dryer cabinet — remove the back panel or lower front panel depending on your model, disconnect the two wire terminals, and swap the fuse.
