does anyone know if the thermal fuse could possibley be the problem?

I went out on a repair call like yours to nite, the thermal fuze on the blower housing was blown. It looks small and thin, white plastic, and has 2 blue wires atached,it protects the motor. the one on the silver heater box only protects the element, not the motor

I know this may seem a little basic but I would check the following first

1. The breaker or fuse on your electrical panel
2. The door switch. Easy to check if your dryer has an internal light. If it now does not come on probably the door switch is not working
3. The belt broken sense switch

I start with the breaker panel in the home, snap the dryer breaker on and off two-3 times, try to start,if nothing, I take the little cover off where the power cord connects to the dryer,and ck for 240+ volts,also check if one of those wires are burned off, next I test the thermal fuze, that if blown, the motor won't start. Next I test the door switch for continuity. Then I test the motor safety switch last. If the little lite comes on the door switch can still be bad as to starting!!!!!!

Kenmore h3 happens if the outlet is blocked. All the buttons are not active and the lights will not start
