Gas Dryer -- Thermal Fuse Keeps Blowing -- DIY -- Quick and Easy Fix

[@PerrynBecky]

Very good demonstration on how to properly troubleshoot this potentially dangerous problem. Some people actually tell you to take that fuse out of the system since there are other "protections" in the system. Fuses usually blow for a reason, and this video shows just how to deal with the cause of the problem and not just the symptom. Both thumbs up, thanks for posting this video. You may have saved some lives with this video.

I did all that before installing a new fuse. It worked for probably 4 loads and blew again. What else could it be causing the fuse to blow. I replaced thermostat, fuse and the fan. I clean out the lint trap every time I use it so it can’t be that. Could it possibly the heating element causing it to over heat and blow?

It’s got to be a clogged vent tube.

Scottthefixitguy I will double check. Thanks.

Mine it was clean but somehow it keeps blowing? Any other reasons why?

[@trevosride]

Keeps blowing but why is keeping blowing, I have this issue almost every 3 months but cannot find the issue and already replace everything and keep doing it

It’s got to be a clogged dryer vent tube or the area right around the fan is full of debris.

And you know what I did cleaning the vent but I just replace the hose just in case that’s my last resort if next again I fix it and sell it
