John for Model Number roper dryer hello, I blew out the thermal fuse in my dryer. My question is what are the malfunctions that cause this fuse to blow? What does this fuse do? thank you.

This style fuse is a heat sensitive device, so you'll need to start searching for a heater problem( clogged exhaust system, dirty lint filter, overload, etc. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
