Default Electric dryer - thermal fuse question

I think I'm going to bypass it and reapply power to see what happens.


DO NOT DO THIS. You don't know what's wrong with the dryer. The fuse is
there to protect you and the equipment.

Start by turning it on and see if it runs briefly as it did before. If it
shuts off (as I think it will), you can check the fuse quickly to see if
it's opened. If it has, you know there is some other problem, and you can
use the schematic to start tracking it down.
