Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 4/21/2011(UTC) Posts: 4		This dryer blew a thermal fuse shortly after it was moved to a new house. relocated the exhaust vent 3 different times and blew thermal fuse shortly after each time. we have checked for shorted heater element. checked thermistor and resistance was within specs. I think the dryer has a heat control problem and I am inclined to replace the control module and thermistor, but I was hoping for another opinion before i coughed up 200 bucks for the parts. Any ideas. thanks for any help!!

It is also possibly there is a problem with the fan, had that the other day.
