How to Test the Thermal Fuse on a Dryer?

Unplug the dryer from the power source

Locate the thermal fuse on the dryer housing or blower assembly

Remove the access panel if needed

Disconnect the wires from the thermal fuse

Set a multimeter to continuity or ohms

Place one probe on each terminal of the thermal fuse

Check for continuity

If the meter shows continuity or a low resistance reading, the fuse is good

If the meter shows no continuity or infinite resistance, the fuse is bad

Replace the thermal fuse if it is faulty

Reconnect the wires and reassemble the dryer
