Cool dryer heat is inconsistent
Model Number: 1172822101   Brand: Kenmore   Age: 5 - 10 years   

My heat setting on my dryer is heating inconsistently. I replaced the thermofuse and the fuse directly underneath which is the operating thermostat and still no luck. I turn it to the heat setting and it does not always last. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It does not seem to matter what setting or heat temp it is still not consistently working. When I had the back of the dryer off I noticed that there were two fuses near the exhaust should I try to replace those next? Any suggestions would be great, I'm just not ready to buy a new dryer yet.

Seems like a bad timer. I usually confirm by pulling the timer apart and checking for burnt contacts.
