Jim for Model Number Kemore 110.86572500 Electric Dryer The dryer stopped providing heat so I pulled the heat element that had a crack in the metal plate (not the coil) but still had continuity across the connectors. I then pulled the high-limit thermostat which had continuity. I then pulled the thermal fuse which did not have continuity. I replaced all three and the dryer worked for approximately three cycles. One week after I replaced the parts and on the first cycle this past weekend the dryer stopped as it had blown a breaker. I reset the breaker and the dryer came back with a PF code which I understand is a power failure code. After I turned the dryer on I hit the start button and the dryer started and immediately blew the breaker. I reset the breaker and hit the start button again and there was a load bang and the breaker tripped again. I took off the kick panel on the front of the dryer and observed that the thermal fuse had blown apart with the connectors hanging with the wires. I have order the Thermal Cut-off Kit (part number #279973 (AP3094323)) but I am afraid that if I install the new parts I will blow the fuse again. Any suggestions on what could be causing the issue?
Answer Hello Jim, likely the heating element WP8544771 is causing the problem and is likely shorted to ground, unless there is a wire in that area that has grounded. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, February 10, 2020
