Dryer not heating
Did some research online and via YouTube with "Dryer not heating" as my search.I got a lot of hits and watched a few videos.Tested the fuses with an ohmmeter and found that the thermal fuse was bad. Swapped out the bad for a good fuse and dryer worked! Since I had ordered the other fuses I just want ahead and installed fearing that the re ason the thermal fuse blew was because the other fuses were going bad. The longest part of the repair was moving the unit out of the closet to access the back panel. A rather easy fix and big $$$ saver if you DIY.
