When changing the Thermal fuse, should I also change the High limit thermostat?? Or something else? - The vent was completely clear so that was not the cause. Thank you

Did you check the dryer internal venting? Inside the blower housing, heater box, exhaust vent, heat intake duct? Check blower seal and drum seals? Eric
