No!! You did not post a model #, but, I will wing it here. Take the back off the dryer. Of course unplug it first. Once the back is off the dryer, you will see a small white piece, about an inch and a half long, by a half inch wide, with 2 wires coming to it. That is the thermal fuse. Take the 2 wires off of it, and put the terminal ends of the wires together, and wrap some tape around them, to keep them together, and to be sure they don't hit metal, and then plug the dryer in and see if it works. If so, do not run the dryer with the thermal fuse jumped out. It is a saftey. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
