A broken fuse means one thing, electric dryer repair. While not everyone is up for the task of tinkering with the electrics of their clothes dryer, for those of you that are, here are some helpful tips on how to replace that pesky blown out fuse.
Thermal Fuse Problems
The fuse–or thermal fuse–will burn out when the dryer overheats. When this happens the dryer will do one of two things: stop heating or stop working.

The door switch is one of the most integral parts of a dryer and thus will not run if it is not working as it prevents the dryer from running when the door is open. Knowing how to fix one will assist in easy dryer repair.

Step 1 – Finding the Switch
This switch may be accessible from the outside door, if not the top of the dryer will need to be removed. It is simply assembled with two lead wires. As with any electrical work, be sure to turn off any circuit breakers and/or unplug the drier so that it is not connected electrically.

Step 2 – Checking the Switch

Deciding to repair your dryer is not entirely uncommon. Many common problems in dryers have easy fixes and finding dryer repair parts is not difficult if you know your model’s serial number.

Step 1 - Check the Water Inlet Valve
Check out the water inlet valve located at the back of your washing machine. In each end of the hoses that supply water to your washer and on the inlet valve itself, you can find filter screens that catch debris. If the screens are clogged, water will not flow efficiently into your washing machine.
