THERMAL FUSE
Refer to page 4-45 for the procedure for ser-
vicing 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
operating thermostat, or a shorted heater ele-
ment.
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
operating thermostat.

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
Ω
). If the meter indicates
an open circuit (infinite), replace the ther-
mal fuse.
