Tony, I hope you have better luck with your dryer than I did.
D'oh! Ordered the thermal fuse yesterday. Should be here tomorrow. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Replaced mine and it still runs, but won't heat up. I'm guessing the fuse blowing must've burned out the heating element. We got 16 years out of it, and based on how much laundry we do, I guess that was a pretty good run.
Mine won't kick on at all so I have hope that replacing the fuse will work.
Edit: Come to think of it, mine is probably about 20 years old. We're looking to fix the basement and buy new appliances but I'm not ready just yet. If the thermal fuse buys me another year, I'll take it!
