The lint filter sits in your dryer, and collects loose lint when the machine is operating. Sometimes the lint filter will become clogged or damaged, and in this case, you will need to replace your cur...
I actually went to mr fix it on u tube. Great instruction on how to take dryer apart. First I unplugged the dryer. I found I could reach the heating system by removing the lint tube in the back of the dryer. I put my I phone with the light on inside the back of the dryer and tested the connections to see if all were working. The thermal fuse was not working. I removed the two wires , red on top and white on the bottom. Then used a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the two mounting screws and removed the fuse. I then used a vacuum to clear any lint from the back of the dryer and inside the dryer. This took me about an hour and a half. I did it this way because I did not want to disassemble the entire dryer to get to the components. I received the fuse in 3 days and tested it. It was fine. I then put it in the dryer screwed it in place, connected the wires. Replaced the lint tube. This took about 10 minutes. Dryer is running great.
I unplugged the dryer and disconnected the vent. I pulled the dryer away from the wall so I had room to work on it. Pulled the top cover off (slides back). Took the door off Took the front adjustable feet on the bottom off Unscrewed all of the face screws on the front of the dryer Took the two screws off of the back of the control panel holding the control panel to the metal frame. Gently pulled on the control panel to reveal 4 screws under the control panel to be able to take the front cover off. Pulled the front cover off (the dryer door front cover). Pulled the dryer vent cover off (two screws). I could now see the heating element with sensor/fuse (right side). Did a continuity test (beep) on all visable sensors/fuses on the heating element. No beep on the thermal fuse (used website diagram to locate parts to test and replacement part numbers). Got the part after about a week, tested the parted (it beeped), replaced with new part and put dryer back together, plugged in and the dryer heated. Problem solved.
1. Had to find out what was causing the problem by eliminating each part one by one using a multimeter. I got a video link from parts select on how to do this.
2. Then got another video link sent to me by parts select on how to take my dryer a part and replace the part.
3. Followed it step by step and it worked really well.
4. The process was great except shipping was excessively high for such a small part.
