Helps with punctuation, spelling, etc. I know because I just made a boo-boo in another post. Meanwhile, is this an electric dryer or gas? Dedicated circuit? |

Dedicated circuit? if its electric the element has probably broke and shorted, it can be intermittent and blow fuse |

Installing another fuse without first locating and repairing the malfunction means: 1. the new fuse will probably protect you; 2. the malfunction will probably recur. This happened in your case. You still need to locate and repair the electrical fault. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
