How to Test Dryer Thermal Fuse?

Unplug the dryer

Locate the thermal fuse on the blower housing or exhaust duct

Remove the wires from the thermal fuse terminals

Set a multimeter to continuity or lowest ohms

Place one probe on each thermal fuse terminal

Check for continuity

If the meter shows continuity or near 0 ohms, the fuse is good

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

Replace the fuse if it is blown

Reconnect the wires after testing or replacement
