Dryer Heating Element
The heating element consists of a resistive NiCr coil that generates heat via Joule effect. Over time, the constant expansion and contraction during heating cycles cause the wire to thin and eventually fracture, creating an open circuit that prevents heat generation even if the drum continues to tumble.

Thermal Fuse
This is a non-resettable safety device located on the heater housing. It is designed to physically break the electrical path to the heater if the internal temperature exceeds 320 degrees Fahrenheit, typically caused by lint accumulation or a blocked vent pipe creating thermal back-pressure.

High-Limit Thermostat
The high-limit thermostat acts as a secondary safety switch that monitors the heat at the burner or element housing. If the bimetallic strip inside the thermostat fatigues or the contacts pit and weld in the 'open' position, the electrical circuit to the heating element remains interrupted regardless of the control board settings.
