Dryer Thermal Fuse
The thermal fuse is a non-resettable safety link situated on the blower housing. When restricted airflow causes the internal temperature to exceed approximately 196 degrees Fahrenheit, the internal conductive link melts, creating an electrical open. Because this fuse is wired in series with the motor's neutral line, a failure here completely prevents the motor from energizing when the start button is pressed.

Dryer Door Switch
The door switch serves as a primary safety interlock. Mechanical fatigue of the internal leaf spring or carbon buildup on the copper contacts prevents the switch from completing the circuit when the door is closed. If the control board does not sense continuity through this switch, it will not actuate the motor relay, resulting in a dead response to the start command.

Main Electronic Control Board
The main control board manages the logic and power routing for the entire unit. Specifically, it contains the motor relay which mechanically closes to supply 120V to the drive motor windings. Failure of the relay's electromagnetic coil or the drive transistors on the board will prevent the start signal from translating into mechanical motion.
