This thermal fuse is a safety device mounted on or near the blower housing inside the dryer. It is designed to blow and cut power to the dryer if the internal temperature exceeds a safe limit, preventing potential fire hazards. Replace this fuse if the dryer will not start or has no power at all - a blown thermal fuse is one of the most common reasons a dryer stops running completely.
You can do this! Although an Art Director by trade, I like working with my hands. I’m adept at working with tools and following instructions. In today’s disposable society, I prefer fixing things. That said, this has to be the easiest repair I’ve ever attempted with the largest cost-savings versus hiring a professional. My brand new dryer had been in use fewer than six months (average 6 loads per week) when suddenly the dryer would not heat. The drum would spin, there were no error codes, and... Read more

I used Fixya as an initial source describing my problem. I got two responses which were very helpful. One that the "coils" were probably the problem. Two, that the problem could be the thermostat or a thermistor in the dryer. I verified that AC was coming from the timing control, that both the two terminal and three terminal coils,the igniter and shut off thermostat all had continuity. I then applied AC directly to the coils: the two terminal coil ""clanked" and I interpreted that as the coil... Read more
Fix a dryer that won't heat or stops after 10 seconds. This thermostat bracket assembly regulates temperature to prevent overheating. Easy DIY repair.
This is a thermal fuse rated at 320 degrees Fahrenheit that acts as a safety device in the dryer's heating circuit. It is designed to blow and cut power to the heater or the entire dryer if the internal temperature exceeds safe limits, preventing a fire hazard. Replace this fuse if your dryer runs but produces no heat, or if the dryer won't start at all - thermal fuses are not resettable and must be replaced once they have tripped.
Replaced heating element and thermostat, took me about 2 hours but that's because i had to vacuum out the dryer inside and I also checked the fan before I closed the dryer back up. I have a Samsung DV448AAEP. Works great and saved my family money! Read more

I researched the issue on You tube and found out it could be either the "belt broke switch" or the Moisture sensor. A friend who was an appliance mechanic advised "since you have to take it all apart anyways, its best to replace the belt, spring, and Idler wheel" I bought the 5 item for $52. I watched the video on the AppliancePartsPros for changing out the belt and I replace all items on the list. Took 1 1/2 hrs and was fixed on restart!! * Wear gloves, the sheet metal is very sharp edges!* Read more

When starting my dryer the motor would power up and rotoe the drum and blower.

I know the burner is suppoed to cycle on and off but once the burner shut off it would not come bqack on unless I shut the dryer off and then back on.
