Dryer Thermal Fuse
The thermal fuse is a critical safety component that monitors the temperature of the air entering or exiting the drum. If the airflow is restricted, heat builds up until the fuse reaches its trip point, at which time it permanently severs the electrical path to the heating element. This prevents a potential fire but stops the dryer from heating while allowing the drum to continue spinning via the motor circuit.

Dryer Heating Element Assembly
The heating element consists of a resistive wire coil that generates heat through Joule heating. Over time, the constant thermal expansion and contraction can cause the wire to fatigue and eventually snap, creating an open circuit that prevents heat production despite the dryer drum rotating.

High Limit Thermostat
The high-limit thermostat serves as a secondary safety device that shuts off the burner or element if it detects an overheat condition. If this component fails in the open position, the heating circuit remains broken even if temperatures are within normal operating ranges.
