My original plan was to hire a repair person to come in and repair the dryer. My wife found a video, on the internet, of someone repairing the model of dryer we own. The first step was to test the dryer's thermal fuse. I used an OHM meter to test the fuse, and discovered that the fuse was bad. The second test I performed was to temporarily by pass the fuse, and when I did that, the dryer start to work properly. In addition to the fuse, noticed, when I removed the blower cover plate,that the seal was worn away. I purchased a thermal fuse, and a blower cover plate seal. It cost $13.00 plus shipping for the two items, and I received the items in two (2) days. The installation of the items took less than 30 minutes. I was able to save some money by performing the repair myself. Prior to attempting to make the repairs myself, I contacted a repair person, and he indicated that I would be charged $150.00 to have him come to my house to look at my dryer, and there would be additional charges based on the required repairs.
