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 |
