THERMAL FUSE

Refer to page 4-7 for the procedure for servic-
ing the thermal fuse.

Electric Dryers: The thermal fuse is wired in
series with the drive motor. If the thermal fuse
opens, 91

C (196

F), power to the motor is

turned off. A centrifugal switch on the motor
also opens the heater circuit.

Once the thermal fuse has opened, it will not
reset, and must be replaced. Check for a failed
thermistor, or a shorted heater element.

Gas Dryers: The thermal fuse is wired in
series with the gas valve. If the thermal fuse
opens, 91

C (196

F), power to the valve is

turned off. A centrifugal switch on the motor
also opens the heater circuit.

Once the thermal fuse has opened, it will not
reset, and must be replaced. Check for a failed
thermistor.

91

C (196

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.

2. Turn off gas supply to dryer.

3. Disconnect the wires from the thermal fuse.

4. Set the ohmmeter to the R X 1 scale.

5. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the ther-

mal fuse terminals. The meter should indi-
cate continuity (0

). If the meter indicates

an open circuit (infinite), replace the ther-
mal fuse.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
