Thermal Fuse
This safety device is designed to permanently open the electrical circuit if the dryer's internal temperature exceeds approximately 196 degrees Fahrenheit. On this model, an open thermal fuse interrupts power to the drive motor, preventing the unit from starting entirely. This usually occurs when exhaust airflow is restricted, leading to heat buildup.

Door Switch
The door switch acts as a mechanical gate for the electrical circuit; if the switch's internal contacts fail or the plastic plunger breaks, the machine cannot verify the door is closed. Without this verification signal, the control logic prevents the motor from receiving power for safety reasons.

Push-to-Start Switch
This is a momentary contact switch that sends the initial current pulse to the motor's start windings. If the internal spring fails or the contacts become pitted or carbon-coated from arcing, the switch will fail to complete the circuit when pressed, leaving the dryer unresponsive.
