Part Description: The thermal fulse is a safety fuse that blows in order to cut off power if the dryer overheats.
Failure Symptoms: Dryer won't start; Dryer won't heat.
Testing: Use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If there is no continuity it should be replaced.
Bonus Tip: A blown thermal fuse indicates a restriction in the exhaust vent that runs from the dryer to the outside. Be sure to check the dryer venting whenever you need to replace the thermal fuse. Also check for build up on your lint filter screen. Residue from dryer sheets and fabric softener can build up on lint screens and restrict air flow.

Warmed by Thermal Fuse Purchase
My neighbor's Maytag dryer wasn't working and they asked me to take a look as they could not afford a service call. The thermal fuse was bad, so I looked online. Thrifty Appliance Parts had the easiest website to use, the best price, and th the fastest shipping. I ordered several fuses (good to have spares) and when they arrived two days later, my neighbors were elated at the low cost and now-working dryer. That was a heart-warming experience and I'm glad Thrifty Appliance Parts and I could help!

I had to order this part twice because we blew the first one. Luckily it is very inexpensive. Website is easy to order from and the part came in the same week. Dryer is up and running. Fyi I purchased 2 fuses the second time just incase we still couldnt figure out why the dryer was blowing them. *Warning *dont bypass this part for usage of dryer it is a fire hazard.
