I have a Roper electric dryer model RED4400SQ0
Wife had finished drying one load folded it and then placed the next load in pushed the start and nothing. Not even sure where to start .... checked house breaker ..... outlet is fine ... so I'm thinking switch ...possible door or start ...... Not sure about thermal fuse ... all pretty much guesses based on some of the other posts I've read on the forum

Welcome Scott. Your dryer has a thermal fuse on the rear panel. Remove the back panel and look for a ceramic (white) component attached to an air duct. It's stamped with a # 3392519. It's about 3/8" wide and 2" long. With a circuit tester, it should be closed. It's OK to jumper the 2 wires for "testing" purposes. If the dryer runs now, replace the fuse. The New Part is available on this site in Parts. AP3132867.Post your results please..wrench:)

Well initially after replacing the thermal fuse the dryer worked until yesterday. ( about 3 weeks)
Now It runs but no heat ..... high temp fuse tested bad, replaced it ...still no heat .... and yes before someone says it. I did see in another post about similair problem that it was recommended to replace it at the same time ....... live and learn .....
Any way pulled the heater coil out and one of the coils is broken so I will be getting a new one on Monday and hopefully fix it for a long time. And keep the wife off my back .... until something else comes to the long list of honey do's

Hi guys. I have a problem similar to Scott's. My wife did several loads of wash about a week ago. Then on the last load she put the clothes in and pressed the on button - but this time it wouldn't stay on. I down loaded the manual and parts list but this thing has a lot of sensors and switches. Could anyone recommend where to start. The on button does "click" and will turn the dryer on if you hold it down. But the flames won't start and it won't stay on. I opened the back of the dryer and looked behind the switch panel. And closed them back up. Should I just call a repair man or is there a switch or sensor I should begin with to see if I can fix it. My dryer is a four year old Whirlpool model GGW9878LWO that has been converted to propane.
