Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Dryer does not start
• Dryer runs but does not heat
• Dryer has insufficient heat
• Dryer overheats before the fuse opens

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
• With the fuse electrically isolated according to the model’s service procedure, check continuity with a multimeter; an open circuit indicates a blown fuse, but does not by itself identify the cause of overheating.
• Inspect and clean the dryer lint screen and exhaust vent for restricted airflow before installing a replacement.
• Do not bypass, jumper, or reuse this one-time fuse; confirm the replacement matches the dryer model and the specified temperature rating.
