TEST #3a: Thermal Fuse
The thermal fuse is wired in series with the
dryer drive motor.
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Access the thermal fuse by removing
the front access panel. Thermal Fuse is
located on blower housing.
3. Using an ohmmeter, check the
connuity across the thermal fuse.
¾ If the ohmmeter indicates an open circuit, replace the
thermal fuse.
TEST #3b: Thermal Cut-O
(Electric Dryer)
If the dryer does not produce heat, check the status of the
thermal cut-o.
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Access the thermal cut-o by removing the front access
panel. Thermal Cut-O (and High Limit Thermostat) is
located on the heater element housing.
3. Using an ohmmeter, check the connuity across the
thermal cut-o.
4. If the ohmmeter indicates an open circuit, perform the
following:
Replace both the thermal cut-o and high limit
thermostat (see gure below). In addion, check for
blocked or improper exhaust system and heat element
malfuncon.

lead on the high limit thermostat.
¾ If the ohmmeter indicates an open circuit, replace the
harness. The inline thermal fuse is not repairable.
