Dryer Thermal Fuse
This is the non-resettable safety device located on the blower housing that opened the circuit to prevent a fire. On Whirlpool-built Kenmore 110 units, this fuse is wired in series with the motor; when it fails, the dryer will not start.

Heating Element Assembly
Repeated fuse failure is often caused by a 'grounded' element where the resistive coil sags and contacts the metal heater canister. This creates a continuous circuit that bypasses the thermostat, leading to thermal runaway and a blown safety fuse.

Cycling Thermostat (L155-40F)
This component is responsible for cycling the heat on and off to maintain a safe operating temperature. If the internal contacts fuse shut, the heater will stay energized continuously, exceeding the thermal fuse's trip point.
