Component test · DryerA thermal fuse is a one-time safety link that opens permanently when the exhaust gets too hot. It is a simple continuity test, but a blown fuse is a symptom: the real cause is almost always a restricted vent or a failed cycling thermostat.
Component test · DryerA high-limit is a normally-closed bimetal switch that opens if the heater area overheats and closes again when it cools. A room-temperature continuity test catches the common "stuck open" failure, but it cannot prove the opening temperature is right.
Component test · DryerThe cycling thermostat switches the heat on and off to hold the exhaust temperature. It should be closed when cold and open when hot. A stuck-closed unit overheats the dryer; a stuck-open unit gives no heat.
