Hello Mike, The thermal fuse will prevent the dryer from starting but will not prevent power from getting to the display/control. You will need to open the unit to locate the origin of the burning odor. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Rick, there is a possibility that a thermal fuse is tripping and resetting. I would also check my vents to be sure they are clean and clear. If that all checks out I would check all wiring for loose, damaged, and broken connections.

Juan, Open your door again and make sure you didn't break the black tip of the door switch WP3406105. This is the part number if that part needs to be replaced.

Amanda, The thermal fuse will not cause the unit to not give enough heat. It will cause the unit to not heat at all. If the unit is not drying quickly enough then check your venting.

Sam, If the unit takes to long to heat then you will want to check to make sure that the venting is clean. The thermal fuse will not cause the unit to not tumble in which case you will want to check to see if the motor is getting 120 vac to it. If it is but will not run then the motor would be the issue.

Carter, The thermal fuse will not cause the unit to shut down mid-cycle and then be able to be restarted later. Look for something that would cause drag on the motor and for it to overheat.

Pat, Based on the information provided the issue could be a thermal fuse or a belt switch. I would start by checking the thermal fuse and if it is bad, replace it and also check the vent system for proper airflow. Lack of airflow will cause the thermal fuse trip. If the thermal fuse is good then check the belt and belt switch next. WP3392519 661570V 279782
