David for Model Number 110.86873100 Hi. My dryer was in a state where the drum/fan motor would not run and the heater would stay on full blast whenever the timer was on. I changed the thermal fuse and now the motor works. However, the heater does not turn off in response to the door switch or anything else so long as time remains on the timer. The heater will only turn off if I put the timer in an off position. I checked the thermal cut fuse and that seemed fine. Could the problem be the timer unit?
Answer Hello David. The heater is grounded and is touching metal. You will need to replace the heater on the unit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, November 13, 2013
