Martik:
As the James Sweet reply post correctly suggested, install the l67C
lower temperature rated thermal fuse.
As with any fuse, NEVER substitute a higher value than the OEM value or
bypass it, it is there for a very good safety reason... it is not
worth the risk; if you do you are literally playing with fire.

And, if it blows again, toss the dryer. A second failrue would almost
certainly NOT be because the fuse is a few degrees too low. Something
else is intermittent or has failed completely like the thermostat.


Salvage the fan motor, they're actually pretty cool most of the time, quite
powerful little DC motors.
