A thermal fuse is a security gadget designed to stop overheating in dryers. It’s a one-time-use fuse that may blow if the dryer reaches a sure temperature, sometimes round 180 levels Fahrenheit. If the thermal fuse blows, the dryer will cease working. Checking the thermal fuse is a comparatively easy activity that may be finished in a couple of minutes.
To test the thermal fuse, you will want a multimeter. Set the multimeter to the ohms setting. Then, disconnect the facility to the dryer and take away the again panel. Find the thermal fuse, which is often situated close to the heating component. Disconnect the wires from the thermal fuse and contact the probes of the multimeter to the terminals of the fuse. If the multimeter reads zero ohms, the fuse is nice. If the multimeter reads infinity, the fuse is blown and must be changed.
