1 of 3 problems. Check your breaker first. Then it is either the element of the thermal fuse located on top of the heating element housing. No doubt about it. If you need me, you can reach me at my web site. T. PAONE's APPLIANCE SALES & SERVICE GUIDE Tom

Thanks for the help is there anyway of telling by looking at the fuse or the element which one is bad or do you need one of those meters to tell?

I beg to differ with you bettyboop, since we know it is one or the other, What are friend here can do is unplug the dryer take the back off, and take the two wires off the thermal fuse, and put them together, and put a little black tape around the wire terminals so they don't hit any metal, and then plug the dryer in, and turn on the heat. So if it heats, you need a thermal fuse. If it doesn't you need an element. Go gettum StephG. You can do it. If you don't have a part house near you, these good people on this web site, can ship you the part. If you need me, you can reach me at ApplianceEducator.com Tom
