Common Symptoms

  • No heat
  • Insufficient heat
  • Dryer stops heating or ends the cycle early
  • Dryer will not start when the fuse circuit is open
  • Dryer overheating or repeatedly opening the thermal-fuse circuit

Check Before Replacing

  • Disconnect electrical power before inspection or testing.
  • Visually inspect the heater-duct area, thermal fuse, thermostat, wiring, and terminals for damage, discoloration, or loose connections.
  • Using an appropriate meter and the appliance’s service information, check continuity of the thermal fuse with power disconnected; an open fuse indicates it has operated, but does not establish the underlying cause.
  • Inspect and clean the dryer venting and lint pathway for restricted airflow, since overheating can cause the safety device to open.
  • Verify that the replacement kit matches the appliance model and the existing wiring configuration before installation.

Pro Tip

If the thermal fuse is open, investigate restricted airflow, excessive lint, or another overheating condition before returning the dryer to service; replacing the fuse alone may not correct the cause.
