So how exactly do you check to see if the heater element is touching the inside? That might be our issue. Our dryer is the exact one you have in this video. Thanks!
Hi Phil, first make sure your vent is not restricted. Put your hand and feel the air flow coming out of the house-vent (outside). You should feel the same amount of air flow as what is coming out of the back of the dryer. If it is restricted, it will blow your fuse. I see this most often. Second, if you have the same type of heater element as the one in the video, the inside coil sometimes touches the inside of the housing. You will need a meter to check it or, you can remove the heater and shine a flashlight inside to inspect. Hope this helps, please let me know. Rich
If this dryer has a "thermostat" -replace it as there is a good chance it is not working properly resulting is too high temperature which will blow the thermal fuse.
HI Josh, please see my reply to Phil. If you had the vent unhooked and it still blew, chances are that the heater element coil is touching the inside of housing. If that is the case, it will overheat and blow the fuse. Please let me know. Rich
You would get more thumbs up if you invested in a microphone. Maybe you might show people how to remove that ductwork on the back of the dryer to do a thorough cleaning since whoever owned that dryer never cleaned the lint trap before. That is a fire hazard begging for a house fire. Please show people how to properly clean the system or at least warn them to get it professionally serviced if you will only give enough info to show them how to throw fuses at the dryer instead of actually troubleshooting and cleaning the ducts.
Changed 2 thermal fuses and then replaced the heating element. Blew the 3rd fuse… is it the air flow???
might be a good video, I dont know because I cant hear you!
What if the lent tray is clean but the fuse keeps blowing?

Just to politely let you know without adding exclamation points at the end, it's hard to hear.
Replaced dryer vent hose, filter clean but I just blew 2 thermal fuses. Whats next in line to be checked?

I have the same problem. I replaced fuse and left the vent hose unhooked for 1 load. After the 1 load was complete, the fuse was blown.

I checked the exhaust which is clean and replaced the fuse. The other components tested good. I blew the 309 degree fuse twice. What now?
