• Common Symptoms: Dryer will not heat or run after an overheat event, overheats, or safety-device testing identifies an open or out-of-spec component.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Open fuse, thermostat that does not switch correctly, heat-discolored terminals, melted connector, or lint/airflow evidence of overheating.

Pro Tip: Correct restricted venting, blower, heater, or airflow problems before installing new safety devices; never bypass a thermal fuse.
