To the left and tucked inconveniently behind the blower housing is the thermal fuse (AP3133489) and to the right attached to the burner box is the high limit thermostat (AP3084674). Start by removing power to the dryer. Now you can temporarily bypass each of them by removing the connectors and sliding the ends together. Do this one at a time making sure they do not touch any metal and then give the unit a try to see which one has failed. Only operate the unit in this condition for testing and not for actual operation.

But now I cant remember if it stopped all power or just the heater element.. Also watch this video: YouTube - Kenmore Elite He4 Dryer DEFECTS and PROBLEMS EDIT: I found my problem.. the load-select button "HEAVY" was not making contact.. This contact-cleaner cured that on ALL of the buttons and they now act like NEW again.. No problems! Rob
