Go to StoreThis Dryer Thermal Cut Off Fuse is a safety device designed to protect the dryer from overheating. A multimeter can be used to test the fuse. Always check the dryer venting when replacing a blown thermal fuse. The thermal cut off is located on top of the burner funnel under the dryer drum, so you'll need to remove the drum from the dryer cabinet to access the old part and replace it. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part.
