excel and jersey;

I replaced the thermal fuse, and it still doesn't dry. I didn't check to see if it was bad because it was only $12.

Going to check the heating element next, and if that doesn't do it, I'm thinking new dryer for $300 as opposed to service call for close to $200.

So is that dryer drying?


Why, yes, it is now drying like a champ.

It was the heating element. I did go and pick up the multi meter at Radio Shack for $17. That confirmed it. The element was $63 at Sears, but I have a B-I-L who does HVAC and he let me use his discount at a electrical parts house, so I got it for $42. So the total including the $12 thermal fuse I did not need, (lol) and new flexible dryer venting, was $90. Sure beats a $300 new dryer.

Thanks for EVERYONE'S help.

Bob
