Hello, I am new to this forum and am hoping for some assistance. I have an Admiral eletric dryer about 10yrs old. Just stopped working. The timer works, does that mean there is power to the dryer? I did not smell anything unusual. The breaker has not tripped. I am not tech savy and do not have testing equipment either. Are there any easy processes for determing the problem. Thank you

The main culprit on an admiral is a little thermal fuze on the top right side of the heating element, if the dryer gets over heated the fuze will blow out. To test, unplug dryer, open up top of dryer, unplug two little wires from fuze(fuze is round about the size of a nickle with 2 small wires on it) tape them together real tight ,and plug in and push start. If it runs shut it off un plug till you get a new fuse

Ok, I saw many comments about a thermal fuse being bad. Well, I disconnected mine, taped both ends together tried turning it on. No response. I think theres power going to it due to the timer clicking. I will say for years I was just setting the knob at a certain time, Then someone told me just move the knob to dry more or dry less. Now weeks later this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
