If you would unplug the dryer, and get a putty knife, and stick it under the top on the right side, and pop it up, and then do the same on the left side. Once you do that push the top all the way back to the back wall, and look in the back of the dryer up top, in the middle, and you will see the heating element. Look to the right of the element housing and follow the 2 white wires down, and that is the thermal fuse. That would be your problem. The part # is LA1053, and it comes with the thermostat, that is located on the top of the heating element. Once all that is done. Take the front off, and clean out all the lint in the blower housing on the front of the dryer. That is the reason the fuse blew.
