I have owned this dryer since 2001 and have never had a problem until last October when it would not start. I checked everything that could be wrong (fuses, switches etc.) and found out it was the circuit board. So I replaced the board and everything worked fine. As long as it was apart I also cleaned the lint out so the dryer was clean. Once the circuit board was replaced it worked fine for about 2 weeks and suddenly it would not start. I again checked everything and found that the thermal fuse had blown. I replaced the fuse and it was fine for about 2 to 3 months, then the fuse blew again. I checked and the dryer still did not have a lot of lint buildup. About 3 months later the same thing happened, the fuse blew out again. I don't understand why this keeps happening, because I have the same problem now again for the 4th time in one year. I don't see how it is overheating when their isn't much lint buildup and I clean the lint filter after every dry. I never had a problem for over 10 years, now I can't keep it from blowing the fuse. Can their be some other problem causing the fuse to blow? Or am I buying inferior fuses?

Thanks for the info. I will check the seals, that just may be the problem.

Thanks
