Thermal Fuse as that same one, numbers match, but the Cycling Thermostat looks completely different than the picture provided at the parts page. On this model the Thermostat has 5 wires coming off of it as apposed the the two as shown on the parts page. I intend to get the fuse tested but will need the part number for the thermostat if replacement is required. As you said its recommended the thermostat be changed if the fuse blows.

They sell a linteater 4 inch brush for this. Check heater thermal fuse, if blown out, you can order a thermal fuse/overload thermostat pn 279973
