Warren, I'll post your email here:

I found the thermal fuse. I'm not sure what I'm trying to find. There seems to be no break in the connection. There are two wire connectors going into the white housing. There is a shiny black material (looks like hard plastic) between the two connectors. I don't see any indication that the connectivity is broken. Could it be broken within the white casing?

Warren,
You can't really check the fuse visually. Gotta use an ohmmeter (see link in my first reply). Since you can't see inside the fuse, you can't tell whether the wire is broken or not. Using an ohmmeter you can accurately check the fuse for continuity. Using the same meter, you can also check the heater and the thermal cut-off. You can purchase a meter from your local radioshack (or any electrical supply) or you can purchase one from us using the link above.
