The thermal fuse has blown. I suspect it was because of a faulty thermostat. I have checked the thermal cut off and high limit thermostats at room temperature and they have continuity.

The dryer cycling thermostat has continuity between the top and bottom terminals, but shows some resistance between the 2 side terminals.

The vent system is unobstructed.

What most likely caused my thermal fuse to blow?

The manufacturer advised to replace the cycling thermostat in case of the blown thermal fuse because of the faulty temperature parameters not electrical.

- The part number for the thermal fuse AP3132867

- The part number for the cycling thermostat AP3131939

- Here are the break down diagrams for the Roper dryer Model REL4636BW0
