Dryer Thermal Fuse
The thermal fuse is a non-resettable safety device located on the blower housing that opens the circuit if temperatures exceed a calibrated limit. In this model series, the fuse is wired in series with the motor start circuit, so a failure immediately prevents the machine from starting. It is the most common cause of a total 'no-start' condition following an overheat event or airflow restriction.

Dryer Door Switch
The door switch acts as a critical safety interlock that must be closed to complete the electrical path to the drive motor. If the internal microswitch contacts fail or the plastic actuator lever breaks, the dryer will not receive the necessary signal that the door is secured. Replacing the switch assembly ensures the control circuit can successfully close for operation.

Push-to-Start Switch
This momentary switch is responsible for bridging the electrical gap to the motor's start windings when depressed. Over time, the internal copper contacts can suffer from carbon pitting or mechanical fatigue, preventing a clean electrical connection during the start attempt. A new switch restores the physical actuation required to jump-start the motor's rotation.
